Commissioning

There are practical reasons why you may want to consider commissioning a piece of furniture. It may not be possible, for example, to purchase from a retailer something of the correct size or of a design to suit your taste. There is however another very rewarding aspect to commissioning something unique, and that is, as a client you may enjoy the creative element of your design input. It is important to stress there are no rules about this, as professionals we have worked from very precise scale working drawings produced by the client, to on the other hand producing unique pieces of furniture designed entirely by us with no creative input at all from the client, but we know each way of working has culminated in pieces of furniture that give either type of clients a great deal of pleasure. It is also important to remember that this creative project will be around for many years, because, anything recognizably well designed and well made tends to be treated with due care and respect by whoever becomes its custodian.

Although we are very accommodating to the way in which a client would like to work (on occasion we have conducted the entire process by email), we have established by experience a structured sequence of events which we find works well. Click on the links on the right for more information.

At the time of writing Adamson and Low have completed a total of 253 commissions. Each unique project has a documented project number and most have a solid silver identification plate. This plate is engraved by hand with our name, project number,and the year it was completed. It is then hallmarked and discretely inlaid into the piece of furniture.
