Ordering bespoke furniture directly from a factory used to feel like something only large interior studios, hotels or commercial developers could do. The process was opaque, hard to manage and usually required a trusted person on the ground.
At Present, we created a simpler route.
We help homeowners, interior designers, architects and developers produce custom furniture directly with specialist factories, without losing the creative direction, quality control or design detail that makes a piece feel special.
What does bespoke furniture mean?
Bespoke furniture means a piece is made specifically for your space, dimensions, materials and design direction.
That could be a dining table made to fit an awkward room, a marble vanity designed around a particular basin, a stainless steel desk, a custom bed, a built-in shelving system or an entire set of furniture for a home, office, hotel or retail space.
Instead of choosing from standard retail sizes and finishes, you begin with the actual thing you want to create.
What do you need before asking for a quote?
You do not need a fully resolved technical pack to start.
A good brief might include:
Reference images
Approximate dimensions
Material preferences
A sketch, render or moodboard
Delivery location
Budget range
Any deadline you are working towards
If you already have CAD drawings, 3D renders or an architect’s schedule, even better. But a strong idea and clear measurements are often enough for an initial review.
How the process works
The Present process is designed to be clear and hands-on. You send your brief, we review the design, materials, production method, budget, timeline and delivery location, then we provide pricing, lead time and material notes. Once details are confirmed, production begins after a 50% deposit, with the balance due before shipping.
Production timelines vary depending on complexity, material availability and order size, but the key benefit is flexibility. You are not restricted to what already exists.
Why order direct from a factory?
The main advantages are:
Better control over dimensions
More freedom with materials
Access to specialist finishes
Potentially better value than luxury retail
The ability to make one-off or highly specific pieces
A more direct route from idea to finished object
This is especially useful when you are working on a renovation and need several items to feel connected, such as furniture, lighting, stone, hardware and sanitaryware.
Who is this right for?
Factory-direct bespoke furniture is ideal for people who care about design and want something more specific than retail can offer.
It works particularly well for:
Interior designers
Architects
Property developers
Private homeowners
Hospitality projects
Retail spaces
Offices and studios
Present can work on one bespoke piece or a full furniture and fittings package.
Final thought
The best bespoke furniture does not start with a catalogue. It starts with a space, a problem, a reference, a material or a feeling.
Our job is to help turn that into something real, properly made and delivered with as little friction as possible.
