Handmade in Exeter
Simple Thoughtful Design
With responsibly sourced natural materials, simple, thoughtful design, and keen attention to detail, creating custom cabinetry & furniture that stands the test of time is at the heart of everything I make. Whether it’s alcove storage, wall-mounted shelving, replacement cabinet doors or custom kitchen cabinets, you can expect the best materials and time tested joinery.

The Whole Process
From Idea to Fit
Following a design consultation and survey, I’ll create detailed drawings for your project so we can make all the key decisions together ahead of time. Once you’re happy with the design, we can move on to making. I’ll be with you every step of the way—from our first conversation right through to installation and aftercare.
Materials
Ecologically Led
With a love of trees and nature, using wood is always somewhat painful. As a high-performance, uncompromisingly beautiful material, it is unmatched by its artificial stand-ins. And as a natural ally in ecological recovery, it is our duty to find ways to rebuild a reciprocal, mutually beneficial relationship with our precious woodlands.
My partner, an ecologist, and I are working to ensure my wood is sustainably sourced. I aim to be constantly learning new ways to reduce my impact and, one day, actively improve our woodlands.
My furniture is completely plastic & MDF/MFC free. I use only low-VOC, non-toxic paints and natural, food-safe oils.

About Me
My Approach
Hi, I’m Benjamin. I’m a cabinet maker and designer with almost a decade of experience working with wood. My journey has taken me from building fences in Cornwall to fitting high-end furniture in London, as well as building sets for fashion shoots and designing displays for the Natural History Museum.
My work is driven by a desire to create furniture that not only looks and functions well, but also contributes to a healthy home and limits its impact on woodlands. I hope my passion for natural materials and traditional joinery shines through in everything I make.
