A unique offering.
At tfd we believe combining three key principles allows us to bring our clients a unique offering within the industry.
Knowledgeable & experienced
We pride ourselves on our wide market knowledge and our analysis of the retail sector and emerging trends. This, coupled with our experience of global manufacturing capabilities and techniques gathered over twenty five years in the industry, gives us the foundation to create designs that your customers will love.
Collaborative & creative
We can manage the complete development process for you, creating focused concepts, rendered images and prototype drawings. Liaising directly with factories and suppliers on your behalf, we can then ensure the delivery of exciting, aspirational new products ready for you to bring to market.
Commercially aware
Our work is underpinned by a desire to build a solid understanding of your market and your customers’ aspirations. This informed approach is at the core of our design process, enabling us to create inspirational furniture collections that are commercially successful.
“I have a love of simplicity, balance and craft. When these three things are inherent in a piece of furniture you are onto something!”
