SYN is an original art-furniture brand, built by artists and designers who came to it from sculpture, architecture and jewellery. A piece starts as a drawing, is worked up with you in the materials we already use, and is then made by hand.
- Series
- Liquid and Lucent, across three categories
- Workshop
- One, and every piece is made in it
- Made to order
- Most pieces, in eight to fourteen weeks
Two ways in, and both of them end on the same bench.
A piece from the catalogue and a piece from your own drawing are made by the same people, in the same materials, on the same bench. What changes is who sets the shape.
Start from one of ours
Every series and every category is in the catalogue. Most are made when they are ordered; a few are already finished and held. Take one as shown, or change the size, the proportion and the finish with us — the same workshop either way.
Start from your idea
Fully custom, in the materials we already use — gemstone, brass, synthetic crystal, timber and eco-composite — and on the same bench. Send a drawing, the room, or the reference you are working from.
Begin with the style that caught your eye.
The workshop side of this — the moulds, the casting day, the three-day rest, the finishing bench — is written up in the journal, where we can give it the room it needs.
Send the room, or the reference
A photograph with something in it for scale helps most of all. The first thing that comes back is not a quote — it is a list: what in the picture is already in this workshop’s vocabulary, and what is not.
We work it up with you
You set the piece: the size, the proportion, and how much of each material sits in it. We work it up in that material and finish with you, until what is on paper is the thing you actually want in the room.
Then it is made
On the same bench as everything else, by the same hands, and inspected before it is crated and delivered like any other piece. Most pieces take eight to fourteen weeks in the workshop; the ones already finished are dispatched in days.
Begin your piece
Tell us about the room and what you have in mind. If you are ordering for a project — a hotel, a restaurant, a house with more than one room in it — the trade programme has the terms.
One workshop, one piece at a time. Most pieces are made when they are ordered; a few are already finished and held. Each piece says which it is on its own page.
