Textiles
All fabricsImagined in our studio, made for upholstery
Every pattern is imagined in our studio, then printed on recycled velvet tested beyond 40,000 rubs, on natural linen, or woven as silk jacquard in the UK. Use them for upholstery, headboards, curtains and cushions.
Upholstery, finished in our fabrics
Chairs, sofas and benches, made to order and covered in any of our patterns. These chairs by NOOM wear Penrose Prowl and Tora. Choose the pattern, colourway and scale, and we will advise on the right cloth for the piece.
The Shokunin collection
Drawn by hand in Windermere.
Made in rare veneers and brass.
The Koshi bar.
A woven marquetry of black and grey veneers, threaded with brass, copper or nickel and finished with leather-wrapped handles.
Marquetry
Our marquetry
Pattern, made by hand in veneer
Each design is drawn in our studio, then cut and laid by a specialist workshop that produces some of the most detailed marquetry in the world.
Any pattern can change in scale and colour. We work from the full Tabu range of veneers, and can draw a pattern for your project alone.
