Bespoke Furniture; what does it mean?

Bespoke is a relatively old school word we have started to adopt into our new school designs . . . but what does it mean exactly?

On a trip to London last year, Celina returned inspired, invigorated and with this word she wanted to bring home . . . bespoke. Loving the idea that like a tailored suit; our made-to-order, one-off, custom-made furniture could adopt a more mature description, fitting for the products we produce.

Bespoke is an adjective for anything commissioned to a particular specification. It may be altered or tailored to the customs, tastes or usage of an individual purchaser. Although the term is more prevalent in British English, American English has begun to adopt the term replacing “custom” in many made to suit companies.

Recently we created a bespoke sofa for the Address design show curated by the talented Kate Duncan who’s vision was to bring together local creators and furniture builders under one roof. This sofa coined the “Bossalina”, is a great example of what a piece of bespoke furniture can be. Celina used her keen understanding of furniture design to keep in mind proportion and comfort, using the golden ratio as a guide. This sofa can be adjusted, altered and tailored to suit any space. Modular sections can be added to create large sectionals and mirrored seating arrangements. We happily adopt this term and look forward to sharing with you some of the exceptional and unique bespoke designs we have been working on this year, for you and for our amazing and talented designers.

Here are (albeit a late post) some photos from the Address show!
