Our service
Black and Key is in an enviable position as it has nurtured and kept traditional craft skills in house. This means from design sketch or informal brief, working drawings and samples can be produced quickly. Our control over all production processes enables us to quickly respond to any amendment in design or finish. The making of a bespoke piece of furniture is a partnership between designer and craftsman and Black and Key welcome participation every step of the way.
Sustainability
‘Buy less. Choose Well. Make it last. Quality, not quantity.’ - Vivienne Westwood.
All our furniture is made in the UK, and we use UK based sub-contractors where possible. We make every effort to ensure that all timber and wood materials used in the production process is supplied under the Forest Steward Council.
Our items are high quality, durable and designed to last a lifetime - we hope that all our items of furniture can be passed down through the generations.
We are always looking at ways to improve our operations and will continuously strive to reduce our waste and carbon footprint.
