01 / The brief

What the site had to actually do.

Furniture at this level is not bought from a grid of thumbnails. The buyer needs to believe in the making before they believe in the price, and four generations of workshop history is the actual product being sold.

The problem with heritage brands online is that heritage becomes wallpaper. The site had to prove the craft rather than assert it.

02 / What we did

Four decisions that shaped it.

Positioning Furniture that outlives fashion The line the whole site hangs on. Everything else either supports it or gets cut.
Catalogue What we make, and the ten most asked for A full range view for browsing and a shortlist for deciding. Two different jobs, two different layouts.
Story Four generations, one bench The workshop history sits in the middle of the buying journey, not buried in an About page nobody opens.
Bespoke A commission path, separate from the catalogue Made-to-order buyers behave differently to catalogue buyers, so they get their own route and their own language.
03 / The result

What shipped, and why it works.

Twelve sections built around photography, with a bespoke commission path and showroom visit booking kept deliberately separate from the standard catalogue. The tone is quiet: no urgency banners, no discount language, because neither belongs on a piece you inherit.
