How Commissioning Works
“Furniture design and making is my work and my passion. I started my training in environmental design and moved towards furniture making as I realised that to be a good designer I needed to have a fundamental understanding of how things are made and the materials they are made from, which is why I am actively involved in my own workshop every day.”
Commissioning a piece of furniture is a relatively simple process to get started. It begins with a phone call and usually a meeting is arranged to discuss the requirements of the project, preferably in the space in which the final piece will be used.
After a relatively detailed discussion regarding Function and style to develop a brief the client will be contacted with an initial proposal which will outline the scope of the project either in drawing or written form, a budget, and a design fee to create a full proposal.
A full design proposal will contain working drawings, illustrations, material samples and a quotation. The fee for preparing a full design proposal will be deducted from the final invoice when the project proceeds to completion.
Upon approval of a final design and quotation, a financial commitment is sought from the client by way of a deposit, and a delivery date agreed.
How We Work With:
Private Clients
When designing for individual private clients the most important part of the design briefing process is to listen carefully to what my clients requirements are.
The more fully I can understand their needs the simpler and clearer the design process is. It is my job come up with new and interesting designs that function well, and are tailored to my clients needs and aspirations.
Each piece created in this way is unique in concept, execution and materials.
