All of our products are made at our workshop in the West Oxfordshire countryside. We are an end to end process with our offices and workshop on the same site.
Our timber is sourced through a trusted local supplier ' Quercus Forest products', A fully certified supplier committed to sustainability throughout the chain of custody. The oak we use comes from a company in Northern Italy, which owns and manages forestry concessions in Croatia. Our tulipwood is sourced from the Appalachian Mountains in the United States. We work exclusively with this supplier to ensure that all our timber is sustainably and responsibly sourced.
This summer our directors visited the timber suppliers in Italy and learnt about the process of filtering and processing the wood!
We use water based paint which is the most environmentally friendly paint option. It has lower VOC's which refer to the solvents that release into the air as the paint dries. VOC's can cause adverse health effects therefore by using water based paint this is less hazardous in our workshop and to our staff. We also use an automatic machine to spray our products, meaning our staff are never in direct contact with the paint itself.
One third of UK adults have thrown away furniture that could have been re-used. Part of our ethos is that we can upcycle existing cabinetry. If you have relocated, have worn out doors or your style has changed we can revitalise with our bespoke doors. A stylish and sustainable solution.
All of our products are designed and created with longevity in mind. We make our products to last using modern and traditional machinery.
For full transparancy we are commited to continued development in this area and open to ideas on how we can improve. We know we are not perfect, one change we are hoping to make is switching from a diesel delivery van to electric when technology and infrastructure allows.
