A cozy reading nook features a tall bookcase with ladder, filled with colorful books. Sunlight streams through large glass doors, offering a view of a lush garden with inviting outdoor seating.

Bespoke Brass and Gun-Barrel Steel Hook-On Library Ladder

We regularly receive enquiries about designing bespoke library ladders in all shapes, sizes, materials and mechanisms. This particular project is a great example of the kind of collaboration clients can expect to receive from Andrew Nebbett Designs, in order to achieve exactly the right solution for their space. The brief was to design and create a bespoke hook-on library ladder that would be installed against our client’s existing bookcase.

Custom Steel Table Bases

With a shared passion for handmade furniture and cabinetry, one of our long-standing clients contacted us to explore a rather specific vision: their clients were looking for two bespoke table bases that, from their initial researched and curated images, appeared to resemble basket-style tables, decorated with a series of elliptical-shaped metal discs.

Bespoke Rolling Library Ladders for The Rolling Stones

We were hugely excited to catch a glimpse of one of our projects in the recent BBC documentary series, My Life as a Rolling Stone. There (right of the opening shot) in the background of Huntsman, one of Charlie Watts’ favourite Savile Row tailors, stood our AND rolling library ladder.

Custom-Made Contemporary Telescopic Library Ladder

Having worked on retractable, rolling library ladder projects for interior design studio Covet Noir in the recent past, we were delighted to hear from them again, this time, looking for another ladder and rails in a similar finish.

Made-to-Measure Kitchen Rolling Ladder

Our client in the US came to us looking for a bespoke library ladder and rail system for a home remodelling project in Beverly Hills. Armed with plans for the ladder, our team set to work creating 3D visual renders – our usual approach at the start of a project and one that helps immensely to bridge the gap between discussions and sketches, and the real thing!

A bespoke black bookcase, crafted from patinated brass, houses an array of books and decorative items. It features two wall-mounted lamps with striped shades and a rolling library ladder attached to sleek rails for easy access to the upper shelves.

Bespoke Patinated Brass Bookcase Library Ladder and Rails

We were contacted by an architect to look at creating a custom-made library ladder and rails for her clients’ home in the Royal Crescent, Bath.

The elegant bar interior showcases a large circular boardroom table adorned with gold accents and surrounded by plush leather chairs. A chandelier with multiple lights sparkles above, while the bar counter, lined with stools and bottles on display, sits under large windows that flood the room with light.

Bespoke and Decorative Antique Brass Boardroom Table

Here we have another example of our collaborative relationship with high-end cabinet makers, Halstock. The location of this project was at Exton Park Vineyard, where lovers of fine wine can experience the indulgence of 60 acres of Hampshire through their private tastings, member-only events and exquisite spaces.

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.

A modern, sunlit living room with a beige sofa, two wicker chairs, and a marble coffee table. Large bookshelves with a ladder and decor items line the walls, and a contemporary chandelier hangs from the ceiling. Tall windows allow natural light in.

Contemporary Blackened Steel and Bronze Finished Brass Library Ladder

We were contacted via Instagram by interior design company, Covet Noir, who had a very specific idea for a bespoke rolling library ladder.

Custom-Made Elegant Brass and Steel Terrace Doors

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.

Bespoke Wine Room Tasting Table

It was with open arms therefore that we accepted a request from the highly respected firm of interior designers, Finchatton, based in London, to produce a bespoke table to be used within one such wine room of significant proportions.

Metal Furniture

Metal is an extremely versatile material, particularly when used for the creation of furniture pieces. Thanks to the intrinsic strength which it provides, designers are able to incorporate a vast array of aspects which some alternative materials would prevent. To discuss your metal furniture ideas, please contact us.

Blackened Steel Furniture

Our many years experience has given our team a vast range of skills, particularly within the realm of surface finishes and patination techniques. Blackened steel (or sometimes known as ‘Gun Barrel Steel’) is a characterful alternative to new, un-finished steel. To discuss your project with our team, please contact us.
