A studio built
on craft.
"We produce things that are built to last — for the spaces that set the standard."
Make Bespoke Studio produces bespoke furniture, joinery, lighting and flooring for the world's leading hospitality and residential projects. Founded in 2021 by James Fiddy and based at Chelsea Harbour in London, the studio brings together a network of specialist manufacturing facilities across the UK, Europe and the Middle East, each chosen for its depth of craft in a specific discipline.
The studio's manufacturing network spans fifteen specialist sites across five countries. Each facility is chosen for mastery of a single discipline — joinery and case goods, traditional and contemporary marquetry, hand-blown Murano glass, verre églomisé, bespoke metalwork, crystal chandeliers, traditional khatam and carving. Together they give every project access to the right hands, at the right scale, with the right capability.
Make Bespoke Studio works with interior designers, architects and developers who need a single point of accountability across design, production, delivery and installation. Projects have included The Grill at The Dorchester, Mandarin Oriental Residences Beverly Hills, Maybourne Riviera and many private residences across London and Europe.

The story
behind the studio
James Fiddy founded Make Bespoke Studio in 2021, after working in the furniture industry since 2008. The founding insight was simple: the gap between what an interior designer specifies and what a factory produces is where quality is lost. Make Bespoke Studio was built to close that gap.
The studio exists because craft usually gets lost at the first costing. The designer cannot see what a workshop can and cannot do, and the workshop cannot see the designer's intent. Make Bespoke Studio stands in the middle: it champions specialist craftspeople, discusses with each maker in technical terms how a piece is built, and, where the budget needs it, looks for another way to make it that keeps the intent. See why designers and architects work with the studio.
The studio operates as a single point of accountability, taking responsibility for design development, production management, quality control, delivery logistics and installation. Every supplier in the network is visited in person and selected for a specific capability, not general competence.

Responsibly.
Every piece the studio produces is made to outlast the building it sits in; longevity is the most sustainable choice. From FSC-certified timbers and responsibly sourced natural materials to suppliers vetted for their environmental and ethical practices, sustainability is embedded in how Make Bespoke Studio works, not treated as an afterthought.
