This lovely client wanted a handmade writing desk and a chest of drawers. She has used us before for a ash kitchen (look here) and her house boat (look here) and now wanted some furniture for her loft space, nothing she could find was just right and she wanted something different. We are happy to say we have a lot of repeat customers.

We already had some reclaimed Jarra timber that she liked the look of so we design these pieces for her space and just finished them today. She is thrilled with them. Jarrah is a unique Australian hardwood renowned for its versatility. This hardwood is not like the British timber we usually use and because it was reclaimed it was especially great to use it for this project. The clients selected the colour ‘honey bee’ and we had it mixed into Tikkurilla paints.

The drawers are push to open to keep the design simple and as usual are on Blum full extension runners – loads of extra storage and a lovely design we think. The writing table and the drawers look great together and we hope they will be very happy in this loft for a long long time to come.

If you are looking for furniture and you want to make the decisions like will it be rectangular or round; coffee, dining or desk; three legs or four, or perhaps six. Perhaps you would like a handmade writing desk and chest of drawers like these? You will need to choose bespoke.  We make beautiful handmade pieces commissioned to your own unique design and for your space.

During this lockdown we have not been able to fit work in clients homes so delivering a freestanding set like this was just what we needed to fill our time between a big kitchen and some hallway cupboards. It looks like we can get back to fitting now that the restrictions have been slightly lifted so watch this space for more new work!
