Start with whatever you have.
Every piece we make began as something unfinished. These are the things clients actually walk in with.
-
A sketch on the back of a receipt.
Rough is fine. Proportion is our job.
-
A photo from a hotel in Lisbon.
Tell us what you loved about it. We'll take it from there.
-
The sofa you love, 30 cm too long.
Same spirit, drawn again for the wall you actually have.
-
Your grandmother's sideboard.
Re-proportioned for a modern room, keeping the details that made it hers.
-
A floor plan and nothing else.
We propose the pieces, placed and dimensioned on your plan.
-
A colour you can't stop thinking about.
A paint chip, a fabric scrap, the blue of a front door. Bring it in.
If you can describe it, we can draw it. If we can draw it, we can make it.
A photo you love is enough to start.
Send us a picture like one of these and tell us what you love about it. We draw it to your room, in your colour.
Any colour. Actually any.
Six of the colours the Arden comes in. The rest are up to you.
Design the Arden
Sink in. Stay a while.
Luxury is something you feel before you see it. That is why we spend as long on the inside of a sofa as on its silhouette.
- 01Softness that lastsDown, feather-wrapped or high-resilience foam cores, chosen for how softly they hold you and how well they recover.
- 02The finest materials we can sourceHardwood frames, natural fills and fabrics chosen for how they wear, not just how they look.
- 03Made to the feel you wantSofter, firmer, deeper or more upright. Every seat is filled and tailored for the person who will sit in it.
The story of every piece we make.
-
Day one
You come in with a photo on your phone and a rough idea of the wall. We sit on a few frames and talk about how the room actually gets used: who naps there, who eats there, whether the dog is allowed up. All of it gets written down.
-
The first week
We draw it. Not a catalogue page, your room: the window, the door, the space you need to walk past. You see the piece on your own plan and approve it before anything is ordered.
-
Choosing
Then the part people remember. Fabrics, leathers and timbers in your colour, laid out at the showroom or sent as samples, so you can see them in your own light.
-
Making
With the drawing and finishes approved, your piece goes into production: the frame, the seat, the fabric you chose.
-
Delivery day
It arrives at your home and takes its place in the room it was drawn for. You sit down.
How delivery works →
If it furnishes a room, we build it to measure.
None of these comes in a standard size. Each is drawn for the room it is going into.

- Lounge chairsOne statement chair or a matched pair
- Dining tablesStone, timber or lacquer, sized to your table
- Dining chairsSets of any number, upholstered or timber
- Beds & headboardsUpholstered, panelled or carved
- Sideboards & consolesDrawn around what you actually keep
- Coffee & side tablesThe small pieces that finish a room
- Benches & ottomansFor the end of the bed or the hall
The same promise, built into the walls.
Measured from your architect's drawings or our own survey, and finished to match the furniture in the room.
Tell us what you're imagining.
A few sentences is enough. Attach anything that helps: a sketch, a screenshot, a floor plan. We will be in touch with questions or a time to talk.
Talk it through with a designer.
Bring a floor plan, a few photos, or nothing at all. We will look at the room together and what could go in it.
