Furnishing Homes with Care: Crafting Furniture with Beautiful Intentions
When it comes to residential projects, furniture plays a powerful role. It’s not just about filling a space - it’s about shaping how that space feels, functions, and supports daily life. At Object Atelier, we approach furniture making with a deep respect for the rhythms of home life. Our pieces are made to feel considered, tactile, and truly connected to the architecture around them.
Each residential brief begins with listening. How is the space used? What mood should it evoke? What materials will wear well, and age gracefully, in a lived-in setting? From there, we design and build furniture that responds - not just to the architecture, but to the people who call the space home.
In a collaboration with Studio Skey, we worked on a full interior joinery package for a three-bedroom Edwardian home overlooking Kew Gardens. The result was a collection of custom-built and freestanding pieces that brought warmth, refinement, and a quiet coherence to the house.
On the ground floor, we made a kitchen island and alcove units in a modern take on the shaker style, using solid timber frames and subtle detailing to echo the home’s traditional roots. Upstairs, the tone shifted to something more minimal and calm: clean-lined desks and storage in white-washed oak veneer, designed to bring light and softness into the office and craft rooms.
We also developed a series of bespoke freestanding pieces that gently reinforced the material language of the home - low-slung sideboards in oiled walnut, fluted bedside tables in stained ash, and a custom desk that wrapped neatly into a bay window. These pieces didn’t compete with the architecture - they belonged to it. We invite you to view the full project here.
We believe that furniture in the home should feel natural and enduring. It should hold its own, but never overwhelm. Our goal is always to create something that feels just right - measured, crafted, and with a beautiful intention.
