Carsten The Carpenter

I feel my working background brings a little something extra to the job. I am interested in using different materials and producing exciting, innovative furniture. I believe the customer is vital to the working process - the more involvement in the initial stages, the better. At the initial stage I would encourage a client to source magazine cuttings of work and of materials they like.

Most of my work involves solving storage problems in small spaces. For example, creating shelves and cupboards in alcoves, work areas on landings and generally making the most of what you have got. The more unusual jobs include designer lamps made out of fishing rods with concrete bases, drawers made from floorboards, tables made of reclaimed old pine doors and carved mahogany legs.
