About Tim Wood Ltd

Bespoke Furniture

Tim Wood designs and makes furniture of the highest quality. What sets Tim Wood apart is Tim Wood's bespoke service: everything is tailor-made to a client's exact requirements. Tim Wood specialises in combining the highest level of craftsmanship, creative use of different types of wood and the best of modern manufacturing methods to create pieces that are original, beautiful and functional.

Tim Wood trained at the highly renowned Parnham House, The John Makepeace School for Craftsmen in Wood. Tim Wood then set up his own business in 1988 and quickly gained a reputation for the creative use of both traditional and modern techniques, delivering to each client a one-off piece of the highest quality.

Tim Wood's range extends from individual pieces such as a jewellery box or boardroom table to kitchens, libraries and bathrooms, and to the interior design and fitting out of entire houses and commercial projects.

 

Luxurious materials

The types of wood that Tim Wood uses range from the traditional such as oak, maple, mahogany, sycamore and lignum vitae to the more unusual satinwood, zebrano and snakewood. All the timber comes from sustainable sources in either Europe or further afield. Tim Wood works with leather, precious metals and stones too, mixing materials to create unique statement pieces. For instance, a dining room table with an American black walnut veneered top, laser-cut metal construction base and ebony stringing. Another example of an imaginative mix of materials is a bespoke kitchen made for one client: in flamed Brazilian mahogany was mixed with maple and a shivakazi granite worktop to give an exclusive, modern look. Everything is hand-made by Tim Wood's team of forty craftsmen and every project results in a unique bespoke work of art.

 

Antiques of the Future

With superlative craftsmanship and a luxurious mix of different woods and materials in an original bespoke design, Tim Wood creates not just a piece of furniture but design classics that will stand the test of time.
This kitchen is made from French polished Brazilian mahogany with satinwood, pommele douka and ebony stringing in the panels.  The central island has a maple work surface to give a contrast to the darker woods underneath.  The cupboards either side of the traditional cream Aga have granite worktops.  All the drawers are made from Brazilian mahogany and hand dovetailed.  All the knobs were specially made and are wedge fixed.  
This door is being finish by hand before being glued, stained and French polished. It is made of a solid Brazilian mahogany framework, with satinwood, pommele douka and ebony stringing in the panel.
 
This walk in closet is part of a large property in central London. The client asked Tim Wood to come up with a storage solution for her extensvie collection of shoes and handbags. Tim Wood designed and made shelving that would accommodate the exact proportions of her shoes. The rails that the handbags hang from were all specially moulded to echo the exact shape of the clients shoulder, so that they could retain their shape perfectly. The closet houses over two hundred pairs of shoes, and can easily be expanded further to accommodate new purchases. The client is thrilled with this totally bespoke walk in closet that houses her prized collection of shoes such as Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Louboutin, Dior, Yves Saint Laurent, Dolce Gabbana, Manolo Blanik, Emma Hope, Salvatore Ferragamo, Lanvin, Paul Smith and Guiseppe Zanotti. The client has over seventy five handbags such as Prada, Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Fendi, Dior, Gucci, Anya Hindmarch, Jimmy Choo, Bill Amberg, Lanvin, Mulberry, Chloe, Alexander McQueen, Dolce Gabbana, Michael Kors, Vivienne Westwood, Moschino, Diane von Furstenberg, Lulu Guinness, Marc Jacobs, DKNY, Stella McCartney, Roberto Cavalli, Bottega Veneta, Miu Miiu and Burberry.
