“The process of creating a new piece begins with you, the space and a need. My role as designer maker is to realise this task with style, consideration and functionality”
- Gildas O Laoire
BRIEF
When you commission a piece of furniture from us we work closely with you to ensure that you receive something that is very particularly for you. You may already have a reasonably clear idea of the size and functionality of the piece. During the initial conversation to build a design brief, we will discuss your specific requirements and style preferences whilst also considering sample materials and finishes to help visualize initial concepts. Understanding the space and more precise dimensions as well as your budget will feed into the brief and how complex our response to it might be.
DESIGN
Once a design fee has been agreed, work begins on the concept design which to best fit your requirements. Drawings are prepared to visualize the concept and highlight design details. These drawings allow you to respond to the design, giving you the opportunity to collaborate with us further to develop and refine the concept until you are happy with the overall design.
BUILD
Now we will start the making process, how long it will take will depend on the current workshop schedule and complexity of the design. You are welcome to visit at any point to view progress or to discuss details. For many clients, getting an insight into the different processes involved is a hugely rewarding experience that adds greatly to the value and appreciation of their finished piece.
DELIVERY
Once the piece is finished we will discuss a time to deliver it to you and arrange the final payment.
