  • Skilled craftsmanship you can rely on

An accomplished craftsman, Edward has a well-honed eye for detail and uses this to carefully manage each project with precision and artistry. His team of talented cabinetmakers considers every single detail, from hand selecting the most suitable timber to choosing the best grain for individual components. Whether presented with a complicated technical challenge, or simply a chamfer that needs applying or adjusting, we have the skills to address it. Our intimate understanding of furniture and materials is at the heart of our business, and fundamental in making sure our clients are happy.

  • Artistic design flair you can appreciate

Edward seamlessly combines practicality with creative flair and innovation. He takes great inspiration from the William Morris quotation below, prioritising utility and aesthetic, and incorporates this within his own design ethos. Whether an entirely new design or a minor tweak of an existing one, the real art is achieving perfection first time. Your thoughts and ideas are safe in his hands. 

“Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”
William Morris

  • Passion you can admire

We love what we do, and design and make all our furniture with passion and care. We work hard for our clients because without your patronage our industry, with all its traditional skills, wouldn’t survive. We are lucky to enjoy what we do in keeping these skills alive, and hope it is visible in the work we produce. Our clients are always welcome and encouraged to visit our studio and workshop at any time during the design or making process, to experience first-hand the expertise and artistry that bring our designs to fruition.

I absolutely love my chest of drawers. Its beautiful design is truly a wonderful modern Masterpiece. The craftsmanship and perfection of detail is unique, and I love to sit and admire it. It is also extremely useful! It will be an inheritance to be treasured by my grandson and future generations.

Bog Oak Ripples Chest

The blanket chest is just what we had hoped for. The combination of the bog oak and the ripples reminds me of many happy times in the Outer Hebrides…. peat and the Atlantic! Every time I look at it, it makes me smile, thank you so much!
