OUR TEAM
Mixing traditional and modern methods of construction we are able to create bespoke pieces that are built to last.
The Woodwork Company enjoys testing the limits of what materials and new products can do, and is fascinated by how particular items can be created in unique ways.
We believe the aim of every project is to craft well-designed, practical and long lasting work that is both beautiful and functional. Above all we are fuelled by a passion for design and aim to bring incredible ideas to life. Browse the Portfolio to get a better understanding of how we do this.
