Who we are

Adrian is a lifelong carpenter from Yorkshire who loves the creative side of the craft — shaping raw material into something thoughtful, beautiful and built to last. His work is guided by years of experience, a strong design instinct and a genuine passion for making.

Kristina, formerly a physics teacher and always a maker, now leads the detail side of the workshop. She’s the organiser and the perfecter — the one who refines and finishes with care. She also handles all the hand‑painting and careful preparation.

Together, they create made‑to‑measure furniture and kitchens that feel personal, warm and built to last — combining Adrian’s creativity and craftsmanship with Kristina’s eye for detail to produce practical, beautiful pieces shaped with care from start to finish, with examples of recent work available to view in our portfolio. More about how they work is shared in their process.

In their workshop, they are also accompanied by their basset hound, who specialises in long‑distance supervision from the comfort of her sofa.
