Custom Objects and Furniture Design
We do not just design objects; we build them to understand the space they inhabit. From custom brass hardware to structural steel tables, our furniture is crafted through direct prototyping and a commitment to raw, honest materials.
The journey of a custom-designed object. Our team carefully navigates a 4.7-meter-long, 300kg solid oak tabletop through the studio garden, a testament to the scale and effort involved in our bespoke furniture.
The massive European oak slab being carried into the studio. We source high-quality materials for our custom furniture, ensuring each piece is not only beautiful but also built to last for generations.
The final placement of the monumental oak table inside our studio. This piece now serves as the central hub for our team's collaborative work and client meetings.
Teamwork is essential as we maneuver the heavy oak table into its final position. This process reflects our collaborative and hands-on approach to every aspect of design.
The structural steel base for a large table being fabricated. For a heavy tabletop, we believe in designing a robust structure, not just a simple frame, treating it as a piece of micro-architecture.
A detail of the bolted steel connections for a custom table base. The design is honest and industrial, celebrating the structural elements themselves.
A detail from our "scaffolding table," which uses a clamp-based system with zero welding. This modular design is inspired by industrial scaffolding, allowing it to be easily assembled, scaled, and repurposed.
A custom-designed pendant light, inspired by classic forms but fabricated with our own detailing. We worked closely with artisans through prototyping and improvisation to achieve this refined object.
A close-up of a custom door handle we designed. By interlocking simple plates of brass and stainless steel, we created a unique piece of hardware that is both functional and sculptural.

About Bespoke Objects & Furniture
We often spend more time on the mockup than the final piece. Whether it is a full-scale paper template for a mirror or a clamp-based system for a modular table, we test every joint, connection, and curve on-site before finalizing the build. This ensures that when an object arrives in your space, it does not just fill a void but feels like it grew out of the architecture itself.
For us, furniture is simply micro-architecture. When we take on a project, we treat the table, the handle, or the light fixture with the same structural rigor as the building it lives in. This philosophy means we avoid factory-standard solutions in favor of pieces that require a dialogue between the material and the user.
The Material Dialogue
We work primarily with materials that age with grace—European Oak, industrial steel, brass, and terrazzo. In our studio, an oak slab is not just wood; it is a weight to be managed and a grain to be respected. You will see us moving 300kg slabs through garden paths to ensure they fit the space, not the other way around. If a table base needs to be robust, we design it as a structural frame rather than a decorative aesthetic.
The Prototyping Process
Our design process is iterative and occasionally messy. If we are designing a mirror, we start by taping full-scale paper mockups to the wall to test the scale against the bathroom sink. We collaborate with skilled artisans to fabricate components like interlocked brass-and-stainless-steel door handles or clamp-based scaffolding tables that require zero welding. This hands-on approach allows us to refine the geometry until it feels right. Whether it is a pendant light inspired by industrial forms or a vanity unit made from in-situ terrazzo, every object we produce is a result of testing and improvisation, ensuring that your home receives pieces that are built to last for generations.
