Furniture in Wood is a bespoke and small batch furniture design and manufacturing company. We incorporate the best advances in furniture manufacture technology whilst remembering the importance of traditional construction techniques and detailing. The use of the dovetail joint, for example, and cedar wood drawer bottoms in drawer construction is standard.
Our materials are sourced from managed hardwood forests in North America and Europe and all the wood is kiln dried. We also utilize many materials that are more modern into our contemporary designs such as glass, which can also be acid etched, and metal.
Where appropriate the use of tooled leather and felt is applied to soften the surfaces of desks or lecterns. As well as offering, a full range of modern spray finishes we also provide for oil and wax polishes.
This results in a smooth low lustre or high gloss effect although a weathered effect can be achieved by bead blasting the furniture and then using either lime paste or wax. Although we will design and make furniture using tropical hardwoods, our preference is to avoid its use, as sustainability cannot be guaranteed.
Our expertise is to design and make freestanding pieces for the home or office environment, rather than MDF built-in units.We are currently exploring the visual possibilities of glass and mirror in our designs creating optical illusions in conjunction with bold primary shapes.
