You’ve got a great concept - but how do you turn those ideas into reality?
Ideally you want a company that:
- can take your concept sketch and deliver the finished product - exactly as you envisaged
- engages with your vision and listens to what you want to achieve
- gives you clear specifications, drawings and visual every step of the way
- just gets on with the job and leaves you with more time to be creative
- works with a whole range of materials from fabric to glass, wood to brass and can integrate them to create your product
- can make batches of product for multiple spaces as easily as one- off custom things
- thinks about what they do and works with you to optimise the design
- has the engineering capability to build structures such as stairs and also craft skills to create the right aesthetic
- understands that you need to achieve feel, form and texture
- asks tricky questions to make sure that they’ve got it right
- takes the unusual and makes it easy

We were asked to develop a new product to store children's clothes that was free standing and included a hanging rail and storage in the base.
Our design was very simple and was designed to be completely self-locating on assembly. The curved shapes of the ends give the unit a feeling of movement - we call it "The Dancing Rail". The holes in the end are also good for stuffing scarves – or just for peeping through...
The units are finished in a white Osmo Woodwax finish that is completely child-safe, easily cleaned - and if necessary - easily repaired...

Having made and supplied a set of doors for a client in London we received the following email:
"Just a quick note to say we are delighted with the door panels, thank you so much for such a wonderful product and exemplary customer service....they look smashing. We've passed your details to our architect who is very impressed."
