Each intricate inlaid strip has over 400 individually cut pieces of African padauk and English maple to create these stunning complex patterns. The strips flow seamlessly around the sides of the box and are inlaid and sanded flush, leaving a silky-smooth surface. To maintain the highest level of quality we used fine box brass hinges, which also compliments the stained black poplar perfectly.
Our process
Commissioning a piece
Design
Whether we are designing a new piece of furniture for your home, or undertaking a large refurbishment project, everything starts with a pencil sketch drawn by Sean. The project can be as much of a collaboration as you would like; we are happy to work with a specific brief and to involve you at every step, or alternatively we are happy designing a piece with creative freedom that we think would work perfectly in your space. Ultimately, what matters most to us is you fall in love with the design and we therefore will go through as many iterations to reach that feeling.
Making
The piece will be hand-made in our workshop in Kent. The natural beauty of wood is very important to us and we hand select materials for every project to ensure the best grain selection. During the making we will keep you updated with videos and pictures so you can see the piece come to life. Once we have finished your piece, we will hand deliver your furniture to you.
Payment
Once we have agreed upon a design an invoice will be sent asking for 50% upfront. We ask for the remaining 50% to be paid upon completion and before delivery. During the making we will keep you updated with pictures to show you how the build is going!
