How we work

Personal contact and service is the key to achieving the best results with any furniture commission. It’s an area we regard as top priority and in which we excel.

At the initial meeting, the essential details of each project are determined: style, choice of material, finish, timing and some idea of the budget envisaged. You are then provided with a detailed design along with an estimate. Any changes can be incorporated at this stage. We always work very closely with our clients, to ensure we are in complete understanding at every point.

You are more than welcome to visit our workshop just outside Bath.

Working with your architects and designers

Furniture is often part of a larger project for your home or commercial property. We are experienced in working with architects and designers to deliver classic free-standing or built-in furniture.

About James Dawson

Ex international book publisher James Dawson set up his furniture making business in 2005, returning to full-time cabinet making which he was taught many years before. The business has grown steadily and has an expanding list of clients, most of whom return from time to time with new commissions. Much of the business has come through word-of-mouth recommendations.

James Dawson believes in simple design lines, using sustainable high quality English hardwoods, traditional methods and craftsmanship. These principles help him produce individual work that is as timeless as it is full of character.
