Description
M W Robinson Furniture is a bespoke maker of fitted and freestanding furniture. If you have and idea or just a space in home to make use of, get in touch. M W Robinson Furniture is a bespoke maker of fitted and freestanding furniture. Drawing from a number of years in the furniture and display industry, combined with a great passion for natural, sustainable materials means that I can offer furniture and home wares in any form that you desire.
I use a combination of traditional and modern making techniques to provide robust furniture for everyday use. Great consideration is given to each and every project to ensure that all items leaving the wood-shop, work in real world situations giving the user a functional, long lasting product that will be around for generations to come.
Simplicity is at the heart of my design methodology, many of the pieces I create do not feature decorative trim or embellishments as it is believed that the construction methods and natural beauty of the material should be allowed to shine through, forming the first chapter in the life of that particular item.

facebook.comA bit more of what we've been working on, scribes fitted on the big drawer unit and panelling fitted to the bed nook on the other side of the room. Loving the Alpi wood veneer the panelling is made of three sections which is pretty much seamless when put side by side. Overall well pleased with the results so far, still plenty to do, getting there. #woodwork #greenwich #veneer #interiordesign #interior #wardrobe #se3 #maker #ilovemyjob @ Royal Borough of Greenwich
At last I've got one finished. Felt like I've been running in treacle for the last few weeks, hopping from job to job in these projects, making progress but not actually ticking anything off the list. Well, doors on. LEDs in. Scribes fitted. And some lovely handles from @mademeasure all the way from Australia. Happy customers, designers and makers, what more could you ask for. #woodwork #woodworking #interior #interiors #makersgonnamake #wardrobes #bookshelf #bookcase @ Herne Hill

Made this faux dovecote about a year ago for the Talyllyn Narrow Gauge Railway Museum, now it's up on the original mountings on the gunpowder shed. Yeah they had a gunpowder shed. Standard. I'm not a narrow gauge man but workshop neighbour Roger volunteers in the restoration, great to see it up. #woodworking #restoration #narrowgauge #talyllyn @ Thames-Side Studios

Table saw out feed table with 900mm drawers on full extension 60kg slides. Pleased with this for a one day build "lash up" during open studios, just need to add some interesting drawer fronts as I don't think the screwed on steam bent handles will last the rigours of workshop life. #woodworking #workshop #birchply #storage

Flip down castors hidden away underneath to make things easier shifting the workshop around. Happy man! #woodshop #woodworking #cabinetmaking #imake #workbenchwednesday #workbench
Sunday evening reading, lovely book from the in-laws loft. Wonderful sentences like " A good brush is worthy of good treatment; it therefore behoves the amateur who does not use his brushes frequently, to clean them thoroughly after use." #woodworking #woodshop #takeadayoff #geek
A wee bit of Friday work in progress, oak live edge waterfall joint with a few dovetail/bow tie/butterfly keys in to stabilise some wind shakes. Lovely piece of timber from @englishwoodlandstimber a pleasure to work with! #woodworking #naturaledge #happyhappyjoyjoy #oak
