Prototyping Custom Furniture

John Beavan creates bespoke, hand-crafted furniture that brings designers’ visions to life, from initial prototypes to finished pieces. Commissions include a curvaceous American black walnut coffee table with a recessed top for inset glass, finished with a 30% sheen to highlight the natural grain, standing on three tapering legs with a dark-stained exterior and natural walnut inset.

Another example is a burr maple console table, featuring hexagonal legs, angled top, and brass-capped feet, exuding understated luxury. The “Viaduct” console captures the elegance of its architectural namesake, crafted in richly figured burr walnut that draws the eye to its intricate patterns, glazed and finished to a subtle 30% sheen. Every piece is meticulously handmade to order, reflecting slow, heirloom-quality craftsmanship that blends classic design with contemporary practicality.

Luxury collection for a high-end London property.

This collection includes a curved silvered writing desk, matching dressing table, six-drawer chest, and dark-stained ash bedside cabinets, all crafted with traditional joinery methods, from dovetailed drawers to mitred fronts. Subtle touches like shadow gaps, bronze and steel handles, and metallic silver or vellum finishes create character while keeping a sleek, contemporary look. Rich wenge-lined drawers and compartments showcase meticulous craftsmanship and practical functionality. Each piece reflects John Beavan’s dedication to heirloom-quality, modern luxury furniture, blending style, sophistication, and enduring elegance for bespoke homes in London and beyond
