Our furniture pieces are Bespoke, this is because most pieces are designed and crafted for a specific client.

 

These hand-crafted individually unique furniture pieces are what we excel at and take great pride in producing.  Making so many individual pieces is also the best way of training our team to take what they have learned and start putting these unique skills into practice.

 

We do make and supply some smaller items designed by George Coles that are what we call our "General Range" and these are normally in stock and make great gifts.

 

Many of our clients come to us for that distinctively unique piece designed and crafted by George and his team that will be something special to them as they have had input into the design of it.

 

That design may also be a variation of a piece that George has crafted before or a totally new design that he is thinking of crafting from scratch.

 

All our furniture is crafted using the traditional methods from recycled Philippine hard-woods.  We do not use soft woods like Philippine Mahogany (Internationally  called "Lauan", but can also  be called "Meranti", or "Serai") as it is too soft and has the tendency to shrink and expand to much to make high quality long lasting furniture.

 

All of our furniture is made using the traditional methods of furniture making that have evolved over hundreds of years.  This includes mortise and tenon joints and drawers that have Dovetail Joints to name a few.  We DO NOT use nails in the construction of our furniture.

 

We do not get involved in mass production or copying mass produced furniture for clients.  We will however take into account a design that you show us and make that into our interpretation and concept of the piece for you.
