Bespoke Doors and Panels

We produce a large amount of bespoke hardware and smaller individual components each year. Towards the end of last year, we commenced working on a new project to design and manufacture a set of custom barn door hardware items.

We love working on bespoke projects, helping our clients to find just the right design concept for their homes. The question we’re usually asked is: “Can you make this?” The answer is often a resounding yes; our team will always endeavour to devise a workable solution to most design challenges!

With a brief to create a set of decorative wall panels for an entrance hall and fire surround, we jumped at the chance to visit our client’s architect-designed 1970’s property in Wimbledon for a closer inspection.

Working in collaboration with Halstock – high-end cabinet-makers over the border in Somerset, with whom we have worked on many projects – we created this stunning copper cooker splashback for their client, who was having his kitchen re-modelled.

We might know a thing or two about cocktails, but when it comes to cabinet making and brass, we know exactly how to mix the perfect formula.

When we think of the word bronze, we often conjure images of beautiful art works of behemoth proportions, vast Henry Moore, or Barbara Hepworth sculptures. However, in our world of bespoke furniture and storage design, bronze and bronze colour and finish, has many other applications and meanings.

When we were approached by a high end firm of cabinet makers, a company with whom we have worked on many projects over the years, we were rather excited by the brief. Though very specific – to create a pair of metal terrace doors that needed to have a delicate and jewel-like quality – we relished the opportunity to once again showcase our design and fabrication skills.

Taking the conventional out of an everyday object, we were super excited by this project brief – to turn the boring into the bold, the beautiful and the bespoke, with the creation of an exterior door for existing clients who were keen to incorporate more Andrew Nebbett Designs products into their new home.

A long-standing client contacted us with a brief to design and create a set of bespoke brass cabinet doors (cupboard doors) that would be in perfect keeping with the existing style of a home bar in a private residence – bijoux, golden, and totally bespoke. We immediately understood why we had been chosen to help!

You would be forgiven for wondering why we are talking about the history of fridges..! Well… it was a particular 1940s Frigidaire Refrigerator which formed the basis of the brief for one of our very latest commissions! We accepted the challenge to create a pantry door in the style of the retro refrigerator which had been in the home of a relative during the home-owner’s childhood.

Andrew Nebbett Designs were approached by Interior Designer, Annie Waite, to assist with some of the specified metalwork items for the main bar and snug bar of the hotel, for its refurbishment which was completed in early 2019.
