Single-direction brushing of a stainless steel worktop in the workshop

Craftsmanship

CNC machining guarantees repetition to a tenth of a millimetre. Everything else — the edge, the patina, the brushing, the adjustment — remains the work of a craftsman.

Protocol

This protocol applies to every project, whatever its size. There is no accelerated version for smaller kitchens.

  1. 01

    The survey

    We measure the room ourselves, with a laser distance meter, including out-of-plumb walls and level defects. No project starts from an unverified architect’s drawing.

  2. 02

    The drawing

    Elevations, plans and perspectives are produced by our design office. You approve a faithful rendering before the first component is machined.

  3. 03

    The material

    Marble blocks are chosen at the quarry, timber species selected slab by slab. You receive photographs of the materials held for your project.

  4. 04

    Machining

    Panels are cut and drilled on CNC machines, to a tolerance of two tenths of a millimetre. The machine guarantees repetition; the craftsman guarantees the rest.

  5. 05

    The finish

    Booth lacquering, timber brushing, stone polishing. Every surface passes through the hands of a specialist in that material, never a generalist.

  6. 06

    Installation

    Our fitters set every module with a laser. The site is handed over cleaned and adjusted, then revisited three months later to reset the hinges.

The trades

Four specialists, never a generalist

Every surface passes through the hands of a craftsman trained in that material. A cabinetmaker does not lacquer; a lacquerer does not polish stone. That strict separation is what holds the standard steady across hundreds of projects.

  • Cabinetmaking

    Cutting, assembly and veneering. Our panels are CNC-profiled, then reworked by hand on the visible edges, where the machine leaves an arris that reads too sharply.

  • Lacquering

    Seven to nine coats depending on the finish, sanded at 400 then 800 grit between each pass, cured in a humidity-controlled booth. A lacquered panel takes eleven days.

  • Stone

    Waterjet cutting, calibration, polishing. Vein matches are composed flat on the workshop bench before a single piece leaves the building.

  • Metal

    Folding, TIG welding, single-direction brushing. On a one-piece steel worktop the weld must disappear entirely beneath the brushing — the most demanding part of the trade.

A bespoke study

A survey on site, a drawing, a detailed quotation — with no obligation. The first conversation is always the most useful.
