About me

Meet the Maker

I'm Darren. I design, build and fit everything myself, from my workshop in Carlow.

I trained and worked as an AutoCAD technician, so every job starts as a dimensioned drawing. You see exactly how it will look and fit before I cut any timber.

My work is shaped by Japandi design: natural materials, clean lines, and nothing that doesn't earn its place.

Watch the Builds

I film some of my builds from start to finish, so you can see how your piece would be made. The bench build alone has been watched more than 14,000 times.

How it works

The Process

  1. Get in touch

    Tell me what you have in mind. For kitchens, wardrobes and vanities, I'll visit and measure, and the first visit is free. For furniture, photos and rough sizes are plenty to start.

    First visit free
  2. Design

    Every job starts as a CAD drawing with full dimensions, and we adjust it together until it's right.

  3. Quote

    We agree the design, timber and finish, and I'll give you one clear price. A deposit secures your slot.

    One clear price
  4. The build

    Everything is made by hand in my Carlow workshop, and I'll keep you updated with photos as it comes together.

  5. Fitting or delivery

    I fit kitchens, wardrobes and vanities myself, and deliver furniture by van.
