Louis is Simply Bespoke Furniture's craftsman - in the true sense of the word. He originally trained in carpentry and joinery and undertook an apprenticeship, which solely involved the use of 'old school' hand tools. Retaining that devotion to hand-crafted quality, he set up a workshop in the UK specialising in tailor-made household items, and has since built up a hugely successful company, lbconstruct, which has taken on entire building contracts as well as bespoke furniture requests. In fact, it was due to such great demand for these beautifully crafted, unique pieces that Simply Bespoke Furniture came into being.
Laura is our online and technical whiz, but far from being 'geeky' she's a creative virtuoso in her own right! Laura has worked in the digital media industry for over a decade, specialising in design for print and websites, as well as online film and animation. In recent years, she has continued to design for big name brands and organisations, and she's also found a natural flair for production and project management, being the driving force behind showcasing and promoting Louis's work.
Sue is the designer on the team. She has worked in the design industry for 20 years and runs Wills & Trew Interiors with her husband Paul. Louis and Sue have collaborated on many projects together over the last ten years, and during that time it became apparent that a more bespoke option was required for specifiers and clients in terms of furniture choice, from the overall size to the desired finish - hence the forming of Simply Bespoke Furniture.
From time to time, we also call in the expertise of other freelance craftsmen, designers and architects, and all the people we work with are chosen for their innovation and dedication to quality.
Mrs Jones, a.k.a. designer Fee Doran, has a faithful following that reads like a directory of the most influential names in the artistic and music industries - Kylie (yes, that famous cat suit was a Mrs Jones special), Scissor Sisters and The Killers, to name but a few. Her work has been showcased all over the world and has won numerous awards. She has recently redesigned the Camden Oxfam branch, turning it into 'the place to shop'. When you choose a Mrs Jones design or image for your item of furniture, you can be sure that you're getting something fabulous, from the heart and never run-of-the-mill.
