I work with a combination of solid wood and man made boards, to build fitted furniture, that helps people to make the very best use of the space in their homes.
I pay great attention to my customers requirements, and take pride in producing very high quality work, in which every little detail has been considered.
My name is Alex Hykel. I am a Carpenter/Joiner and Furniture Designer.
For many of the projects I work on, I produce accurate 3D designs on a computer before I start to build.
Computer Aided Designs help me to effectively communicate with my clients,and ensure that they are very clear about what they are commissioning to be built.
As demonstrated with the Leaning Ladder Dressing Table from the Futon Company, in the picture above, I like to include already existing pieces of furniture into my projects.
If you have a piece of furniture you would like incorporated into a design, I'll be happy to help you with that.
I built the bookcase in the picture above, using construction plywood and reclaimed mahogany, and then gave it a french polish finish. I'm interested in experimenting with unusual combinations of materials, and particularly using reclaimed wood, whenever possible.
If you would like to find out more about getting me to design and build bespoke cabinets, Bookcases, Alcove Shelving, Desk Space or other fitted furniture for you, then please get in touch. I will do the very best I can to help.
