"These started as conversations."
Every drawer joint, every chamfered edge, every hand-rubbed finish — decided together.
The Workshop
What we make,
while we can still make it.
Each category works from a current timber lot or material shipment. When the wood is gone, that chapter closes.
The table your family will argue about

"We gave James a photograph of my grandmother's sideboard and told him we wanted something that would outlast us both. Eleven weeks later, a walnut credenza arrived that made my wife cry. Genuinely. It's the first thing people ask about when they come to dinner."
Thomas & Harriet Okafor
Dining room commission, Bristol — walnut credenza
"I source furniture for clients who have seen everything and are bored of most of it. Joinery is the only maker I recommend without caveats. The grain matching on the last dining table — six chairs, perfectly sequenced — I've never seen that level of care outside a museum."
Priya Mehta
Interior Designer, London — 6-chair commission, Chelsea
"We've refitted the restaurant twice since those banquettes went in. The banquettes are still perfect. Didn't budge. Our head chef spilled an entire stockpot of red wine on one side — we wiped it down and it looked like nothing happened. That's not furniture, that's infrastructure."
