Initial Design and Consultation: The journey begins with understanding your vision, needs, and space. During the initial consultation, we work closely with you to capture your ideas and requirements. This stage usually takes a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the project and the level of detail involved.


Design Development and Approval: Once we have gathered all the necessary information, our expert team translates your vision into sketches, 3D renderings, or mockups. This phase may take another week or two as we refine the design to meet your expectations.


Material Selection and Ordering: Selecting the right materials to bring your vision to life is crucial. This stage involves considering factors like wood species, finishes, and hardware. Depending on the availability of materials, this process can take several days to a few weeks.




Handcrafting Your Custom Furniture: The most time-consuming part of the project is the actual handcrafting of your custom

piece. Our skilled craftsmen dedicate themselves to crafting a unique and high-quality furniture item. The production process usually takes anywhere from four to twelve weeks, depending on the complexity of the design and the workload.


Quality Assurance and Finishing Touches: After the furniture is crafted, our team meticulously inspects it to ensure the highest level of quality. Any necessary adjustments and finishing touches are made to achieve perfection.


Delivery and Installation: Once your custom furniture is ready, we schedule a convenient delivery and installation date. Our goal is to make this process as efficient as possible while ensuring your furniture is placed precisely as intended.


Considering all these stages, a typical custom furniture project can take anywhere from eight weeks to six months. The timeline can be influenced by factors such as project complexity, availability of materials, and the workload of our craftsmen.
