peterbrown|furniture designer maker of fine furniture Made with Xara Designer Pro Content © 2011 Peter Brown Commissioning your own furniture is a creative and dynamic process that is extremely rewarding for both you and the maker. Clients often search for a piece of furniture that not only needs to fulfil certain functions; it must also meet their own aesthetic and the surroundings in which the piece will live. By commissioning your own furniture Peter will work with you to create the exact piece you desire rather than having to compromise with the limited options available on the high street. The process begins with a meeting to discuss initial ideas, function and budget available. Peter will then return a few weeks later with design proposals in the form of watercolour drawings, sketches and occasionally a small model. This second meeting is where the design is refined and accurate costs given. Once you are completely satisfied a payment of 50% of the total is requested in order to purchase materials and schedule the commission into the workshop calendar. During the construction process, which can take several months depending on the complexity of the piece, Peter will keep you updated throughout and you are more than welcome to visit the workshop to see how things are progressing. All his work is guaranteed - for life. If a problem occurs at any time due to a fault in design, construction or materials, it will be corrected at no cost. If accidental damage should occur repairs at normal rates are offered. Please just ring or email to start discussing your initial ideas, or just call at the workshop (please check before making a special trip). You won't be dealing with a sales team - just the craftsman who will make your furniture. commissioning
