Handmade in Kent, England

Three rooms.
One studio.

Design-led furniture. Collector game boards.
And commissions that carry a life inside them.

I — Studio

Design-led furniture,
made to your order.

Dining tables, side tables, consoles and objects — each one chosen from our curated range of forms, built in your chosen timber, and made only when you order it. No two alike.

II — The Games Room

Collector game boards
built to be passed down.

Chess boards, backgammon sets and leisure objects made from the finest English timbers. Playable, displayable, and built for a lifetime. Commission as a gift — we work around your timeline.

III — Atelier Commissions

When a piece needs to carry
something irreplaceable inside it.

Wedding flowers set in resin. A grandfather's cufflinks embedded in a chess board. A dining table built around timber salvaged from a childhood home.

Atelier commissions are entirely bespoke and always begin with a conversation. There is no catalogue — only possibility.

How every piece begins

Whether you configure a Studio piece or begin an Atelier commission, the heart of the process is the same.

01

Conversation

You tell us what the piece should hold. A room, a memory, a game. We listen.

02

Design

We propose directions and explore with you. You guide the vision.

03

Materials

We source timber, resins, metals — chosen for permanence and beauty.

04

Creation

Many hours of careful making. The work happens. You see it taking shape.

05

Delivery

The piece arrives. It enters your life. It becomes part of your story.

Trusted by Homes & Hearts

"She returned the wedding flowers in resin and we both cried. They're on our dining table. Every guest asks about them. This is the most meaningful gift we've ever received."

Emma & Jonathan — Atelier Commission, 2025

"I bought a chess set from Craig and didn't expect to become a collector. Three boards later, I understand why people commission heirlooms."
