About

We are hands on and a crew of four. We like it this way – an intimacy with client, design and materials; a dominant human element in that our manufacturing is all about hand and eye working together as opposed to the mass produced uniformity of computer and laser cutting and guiding; and a small studio with a few minds and hands dedicated to making the best possible product. We interchange jobs all the time but each have areas of expertise: Stuart designing furniture and managing the business, Michael running the workshop, Boyce helping with machining and finishing, and Andrew rendering with oil, wax or paint.

Douglas & Co. does what it takes to create the perfect item of furniture. We ensure careful stock selection for continuity of colour, grain and patina; we make certain that the timber has been sustainably forested and milled as well as fairly traded; we cut, shape and assemble with precision while keeping our carbon footprint to a minimum; and we take the time to do it properly.
