Ordering custom furniture in Stamford is about creating a piece that suits your space, style, and how you live. At Fairmont Reed, the process of crafting bespoke furniture is hands-on, deeply personal, and built around quality from day one.
Here’s how it unfolds, from first sketch to final installation.
Start with a Conversation
It all begins with a one-to-one consultation. Clients work directly with the design team to define the fundamentals, shape, size, and materials. Whether it’s a rectangular oak table or a round resin-inlaid centrepiece, the goal is to get clarity early. Designers translate those ideas into hand-drawn sketches or digital renders, making sure you can visualise the final piece before any wood is cut.
Choosing the Right Materials
This isn’t showroom stock. Timber is carefully sourced, such as English oak, American walnut, or Indonesian suar, while stone, resin, and Dekton options are handpicked for durability and tone. Each slab is prepped, dried, and planed to exact standards to ensure it’s fit for lasting use.
Shaping the Top
Next comes the shaping of the surface. This is where aesthetics and function come together. Whether it’s a clean-cut modern edge or a more organic live-edge profile, the team tailors the detailing to the concept. For those seeking more impact, this is also when resin infills, metal inlays, or hand-carved accents are incorporated.
Designing the Base
Bases are not an afterthought. From geometric steel to solid timber pedestals, the structure is engineered for both strength and balance. Each option is tailored to the tabletop’s dimensions and weight, ensuring harmony between form and support.
Staining, Sealing, and Polishing
The finishing phase is where custom furniture earns its longevity. Matte, gloss, or hand-oiled finishes are applied, followed by sealing to protect against moisture and wear. Every surface is sanded and polished to perfection—the kind of detail you can’t mass-produce.
Final Checks and Client Sign-Off
Before delivery, each piece is quality-checked—not just for looks, but for stability and finishing consistency. Once approved, it’s carefully packed for transport.
White-Glove Delivery and Installation
A dedicated delivery team ensures the furniture arrives damage-free and is installed professionally in your space. Optional styling advice and seating coordination are available to complete the setting.
From the design briefing to the final wipe-down, custom furniture in Stamford is about more than a product; it’s about process, patience, and permanence.
