Glorious Good Wood - World of Interiors
In the bespoke-furniture stakes, I & JL Brown's flexible approach is a guaranteed winner.
'The answer is yes; now what is the question ?'
That's the mantra of I & JL Brown, the Hereford-based artisans with a refreshingly flexible approach to making fine bespoke furniture. Pay a visit to the company's showroom on London's King's Road and you'll find a panoply of antique and reproduction designs, including dining and coffee tables, ladderback and windsor chairs, dressers, settles, entertainment units and armoires.
But the impressive breadth of choice doesn't end there. Discerning clients from around the world, including many leading designers, have found I & JL Brown's vast experience invaluable in tailoring furniture for specific decorative projects. Any design from the hundreds on offer can be adapted to suit your individual desire. Or if you prefer, take it even further, sketch your own design, and the Herefordshire craftsmen will transform it into a practical completed project, bringing their expertise to bear in solving your needs.
As long as it is technically possible, I & JL Brown can craft a piece of furniture to your exact specifications. After all, the designs are made of wood - not set in stone.
