A totally unique desk designed and hand made by us using vintage school laboratory furniture.
As most of you know we have a thing for reclaimed school laboratory furniture and often adapt such pieces adding a twist here and there.
We have used reclaimed iroko art room tables for the top which we cleaned and completely sealed retaining all the years of paint and marks something that only age can achieve, resulting in a stunning and completely unique desk top. We have also edged the top to give a thicker and chunkier aesthetic.
The right hand side utilises a reclaimed school laboratory cupboard which contains two internal shelves, perfect for storage and keeping that desk top tidy! The legs have been also designed and created by us using folded steel which has been aged, rusted and sealed on the outside face and powder coated black to the inside which helps to blend the steel alongside the rich conker colour of the iroko whilst the black on the inside ties in the black of the inset typographic insert on the door of the cupboard.
Stunning patina with lots of polished marks and scratches which all add to the vintage appeal of the piece.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
