Our primary focus is design, but very close second is sustainability. We work on a small and local scale to create products that meet needs and are built to last, products that you want to keep around, move house with and grow old with. We are far from perfect but we are trying our hardest and constantly looking for ways to improve. If you have any suggestions, please email us. We do not and will not greenwash, and throw money at inefficiently planting trees just to  say we are offsetting our use of wood. We instead look for ways to help the environment personally and opportunities to help local schemes in West Berkshire. 

We are currently focusing on reducing consumption before we try to offset it. When working with new materials (generally due to quantity demands for hardwood projects, time constraints or when sheet goods are required), we try to ensure that they are the most sustainable choice (opting for FSC-certified and  farmed closer), but without compromising the longevity of the product. We also make use of waste pieces, for example the plywood swing seats are made from pieces left over from making cabinetry. As much as possible, we opt for using reclaimed materials, including locally reclaimed oak and leather we remove from broken sofas before they are thrown away, as we believe using what you have got is always better than buying new. However, we don’t let this affect the quality or elegant aesthetic, with time and work, these materials can look as good as new to give them the longest life possible. 

Email us when you have a need for a product and we will make sure you get something that meets all your needs whilst looking irresistible.
