The workshop · 852 Mountain Highway, Bayswater
Eight bays. Everything we make.
One building, eight kinds of work, and every product we sell comes off one of these floors. Open a bay to see what it makes — and a photograph of it being made.
The picture below is an illustration, drawn for this page. It is not a photograph of our building, and no part of it is a photograph of a product. The photographs are inside the bays.
An illustrated guide to what we make, bay by bay
Drawn, not photographed. The illustrator put a chair and a chest of drawers in bay 06 — we do not make furniture. We make architectural joinery: posts, mouldings, brackets, gates, fretwork, balustrade, arches and matching. What that bay actually does is match an existing profile, and the photograph inside it is the original door beside the one we made to match it.
