Positive: Professionalism, Quality Service: Cabinet design
Apr 17th, 2023

I first saw Simon's work at his showroom during the Somerset Arts Weeks and was bowled over by the beauty of the materials and the obvious quality of the workmanship. I had been looking for some time for a "statement" piece of furniture to be the centrepiece of my dining room, which is at the heart of my house, and although Simon did not have exactly what I was looking for we started what turned out to be series of discussions and consultations culminating in my commissioning him to make a display case for my collection of glassware. I had been particularly taken by a cabinet he had made in burr elm and we decided to use the same wood in my commission. I wanted a contemporary design for a what is a pretty traditional function and we settled on something with organic curves framed by curving legs. Glass front doors, a mirrored back and internal lighting completed the plan. Further discussions took place through the construction process and it was clear that absolutely no detail was too small to be worthy of consideration. The finished article is now installed in my dining room and it is everything I could possibly have hoped it would be. A piece of art that succeeds in performing its function to perfection. The design is perfect, the build quality is incredible, and the wood staggeringly beautiful. I hope I might be able to add something else from Simon's repertoire in the future, and have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending him to anyone else, Go and have a look at the pieces in the showroom, The website is good but you really need to see hem in the flesh.
