The Design Process

Call, email, or WhatsApp us with a brief description of your project and we can start the journey together.

Please provide rough dimensions of the space (to the nearest CM) and send several pictures. Additionally, if you have any ideas you've come across online—whether on Pinterest, Houzz, or elsewhere—resonate with you, feel free to share them. Your input will greatly enhance our design consultation and help us create unique furniture solutions tailored to your needs.

A key part of the process is understanding how you will use the space.  I'll ask a few questions about what you want to display, store, have close at hand. This will help me produce a bespoke design creating your unique furniture solutions.

No specific detail and not dimensionally accurate (the devil is in the detail, so I'm happy to provide this stage for free) a 3D CAD model showcasing potential ideas on what the furniture will look like.

Are we in the same ballpark on cost to make your bespoke design ideas.  Without a site visit, it's hard to estimate accurately, but this should provide a figure within +/- 15% for to decide if we proceed further.

Agree on a time to spend about an hour taking precise measurements, and then some more time looking at material samples/finishes for the project.

I charge CHF 150 for a standard site visit, which typically lasts 1 hour for taking precise measurements and 2 hours dedicated to a design consultation where we explore material samples and build on the block designs to develop bespoke design ideas for your unique furniture solutions.

I ensure that every detail and construction step is meticulously planned to address potential issues. I will provide you with renders of the unique furniture solutions we discussed, along with the details of the materials chosen during the site visit.

Using the detailed design and armed with the quotes from my suppliers, I will prepare a full devis for our bespoke design project. I ask for 50% up front to cover materials and initial labour, and the remaining 50% upon completion.

All items are pre-fabricated in the workshop in Vernier. They are prepared for delivery and installation, reducing the amount of time I need to spend on site.

We offer a variety of finishing options.  Spray painting with a water-based paint, using truly custom colours or more recognised colours from Farrow and Ball as well as other major paint suppliers.  For wood veneers and solid timber we use Rubio Monocoat an industry leading sealant that comes in a multitude of tints and sheens.

Items are protected and delivered in a flat pack format. During the design consultation phase, we will discuss any access limitations for large parts to ensure that this is planned for and there are no surprises on the day.

Floors and high traffic areas at the work site will be well protected. Our goal is to limit installation time, thanks to the prefabrication in our workshop.
