What to expect?
The creation of bespoke wood furniture involves several stages, each contributing to the realization of a unique and personalized piece. Here are the typical stages of a bespoke wood furniture commission:
The process begins with a detailed consultation between the client and a Furniture 161 consultant. Discussions cover the client’s vision, functional requirements, design preferences, and any specific features or materials desired.
Based on the consultation, we create a design proposal. This includes conceptual sketches, 3D renderings, or detailed drawings that illustrate the envisioned piece. The proposal outlines materials, dimensions, and any special features.
Once the design is approved, we collaborate with the client on material selection. This involves choosing the type of wood, finishes, and any additional materials that may be incorporated into the piece.
The chosen design is then translated into detailed plans and technical drawings. These plans serve as a roadmap for the crafting process and help ensure precision and accuracy.
Skilled artisans begin crafting the furniture according to the approved plans. This stage involves cutting, shaping, and assembling the wood components. Attention is paid to the smallest details to ensure the highest quality craftsmanship.
After the basic construction is complete, the piece undergoes finishing touches. This includes sanding, staining, and applying finishes such as varnish or oil to enhance the wood’s natural beauty and provide protection.
The client is presented with the completed or near-completed piece for approval. Any necessary revisions are discussed and implemented to ensure the final product aligns with the client’s expectations.
Once the client approves the final product, arrangements are made for delivery and installation. A Furniture 161 expert may oversee or assist with the installation to ensure the piece is placed and assembled correctly.
As Furniture 161 takes pride in being a bespoke furniture maker, we may follow up with the client to ensure satisfaction and provide guidelines for proper maintenance. This stage emphasizes the longevity and care of the custom-crafted piece.
