Oak Storage Cabinets for an orangery – recently completed commission
We have recently finished designing, making and fitting these storage cabinets for a client. The brief was typical of the kind of work we carry out often, that is, to find an elegant and useful furniture and storage solution for a difficult space. In this case, the difficult space was in the clients’ orangery …

These pictured above are some of our favourites; Robert Sorby chisels, manufactured in Sheffield for the last 200 years, Lie-Nielsen hand plane, and Lie-Nielsen dovetail saw, all the way from Rockport, Maine, USA.

Ready to fit – bespoke desk and storage cabinet in Oak
We’ve just finished making this bespoke desk and storage unit in oak for some clients, and it couldn’t be more different to the bespoke and fitted ultra-contemporary kitchen we completed just before Christmas.
