Plywood Kitchens
Our plywood kitchens use birch veneer layers for stability and durability, finished with Formica laminates for custom colour schemes. The natural wood grain creates striking visual appeal while maintaining practicality. Clients benefit from fully customisable layouts that maximise space efficiency in both modern and traditional properties.
Hand-painted Kitchens
Crafted with five-piece shaker-style doors using Farrow & Ball pigmented paints, these kitchens combine traditional techniques with modern materials. The hand-painted finish offers enduring appeal, with visible brush strokes adding character to each bespoke design tailored to client specifications.
Bespoke Furniture
We create made-to-measure furniture for residential and commercial spaces, specialising in non-standard sizes and awkward spaces. From wardrobes to office fittings, each piece uses premium plywood construction techniques to ensure longevity and perfect integration with existing environments.
Utility Rooms
Designed for practicality and durability, our utility rooms incorporate innovative storage solutions and high-quality materials. The layouts optimise workflow while maintaining aesthetic consistency with our signature birch plywood construction methods and attention to detail.
Installation Service
Our cabinet makers personally handle installations to ensure precision, typically completing kitchens within 3-5 days. We coordinate with client-selected tradespeople and provide pre-installation workshops to guarantee perfect fit and finish for every bespoke project.
