Rupert enjoys the challenges that come from working to solve creative design problems presented by commissions which have, in many cases, given him the opportunity to move forward into uncharted territory. His unique, timeless designs have matured and moved in tandem with his customers’ tastes away from the tendency towards “two-dimensional thought” in modern furniture. Taking calculated risks, he responds to confidence on the part of his clients, enabling them to turn their ideas into reality.

The Commissioning Process

After detailed discussions to gain an understanding of what is required, drawings for the design are produced and recommendations made for the timber to be used. These drawings can be modified to reach the final design which can then be priced. It is only at this stage that a commitment is required and a deposit of normally 30% of the commission price is payable.
