OUR COMMITMENTS

 

At Shapes in Space, we design and build furniture that feels personal, intentional, and made to last. Whether it's a one-off custom piece or a curated collection for a shop or home, we’re guided by principles that go beyond style—we care deeply about how things are made, who we make them for, and the impact our work has on the world around us.

​

1. Thoughtful Design

Every piece we create starts with design thinking. We blend bold creativity with functional clarity, creating forms that are playful yet practical. Our aim is always to elevate your space—whether it's a home office, café, or creative studio—with something that feels distinctly yours.

​

2. Responsible Craftsmanship

We’re not a factory. We’re a small team of designers and makers who build everything with care. Our hands-on approach means every joint, every finish, and every material is chosen and crafted with intention. We make things to be used and loved for years—not replaced.

​

3. Green by Design

We’re committed to sustainable practice—not as a marketing line, but as a core part of how we work:

• We source FSC-certified wood and sustainably managed materials wherever possible.

• We use low-VOC paints, oils, and finishes to protect indoor air quality and reduce environmental impact.

• We prioritise high-efficiency material use through detailed CAD planning and CNC cutting to reduce waste.

• We continually explore eco-conscious alternatives like recycled plastic sheet materials, water-based finishes, and new biodegradable or circular design options.

• We build furniture that lasts—because sustainability starts with longevity.

​

4. Collaboration Over Compromise

Our clients are often designers, small business owners, or individuals with a strong vision. We love that. We’re here to help shape those ideas into something real and remarkable. Our process is collaborative, transparent, and always driven by creative respect.

​

5. Supporting Independent Creativity

Shapes in Space was founded with the belief that small, independent businesses deserve spaces that reflect who they are. We work closely with cafés, shops, studios, and individuals who want something more meaningful than off-the-shelf. When you work with us, you support a studio that puts creativity and integrity first.

​

6. Constant Curiosity

We stay inspired by learning—from evolving design ideas to new technologies and material innovations. Our work evolves because we keep asking questions, testing ideas, and exploring better ways to make.

​

In Short

We innovate shapes. We elevate space.
And we do it responsibly, beautifully, and with purpose.
