Working with David was a pleasure from the start. We began with a few ideas about the woods we liked, the Macintosh influence and what we wanted the piece for. David took the time to visit us and to understand our own style and the setting. He then worked it up into a full design, adding his own artistic and technical input. A number of solutions were presented to each design issue (like the handles and the inlay) until it felt right. Visiting David's workshop and his regular posts on Facebook kept us in touch with the project as things came together. And then the big day when David arrived and put it all together in location. That's when I really appreciated the craftsmanship and care that had gone into the piece. Overall a great experience. And a fantastic 'heirloom' piece of furniture.

During the design process David fully understood my ideas and translated them into meaningful and accurate design concepts. I was then continually updated throughout the production process and the quality and detailing of the finished lamps is outstanding. My living room looks fantastic with two lamps that are totally unique and guests are always complementing me on how good they look and the warm and cosy light that they project into the room

“I commissioned David to make a small wine table a short time ago. It was based on an idea which I had in my mind for a long time. As an architect I have a particular interest in workmanship, materials and design. David’s work excelled everything I had expected and the final finish is exemplary and does not seem to be showing any signs of wear even though it has been rather abused.”

“David Tragen’s first work I saw was a stunning curvy 30’s esque cabinet at a artisan warehouse show in South Manchester. Later when deliberating where to purchase a free-standing bookcase, I came across a design at an upmarket furnishing store in Deansgate. Rather than purchase this over-priced item, I thought my budget would be better invested in something handcrafted. So from the time we started our commission with David, he took us on a journey that involved much collaboration; detailing, exact specifications from wood selection to lippings and finishing, drawer mechanics and the integrated door handles which is a beautiful bespoke touch to the piece. It became a bespoke creation that even I felt a part of its very design. David provided regular weekly consultations with us during the design stage. He remained diligently on time and came within our set budget. The workmanship and final bookshelf piece was beyond our expectations. It is the centre piece of our home and is appreciated by all who see it. David is a unique craftsman, incredibly passionate about his design and prides himself on involving his customers throughout the process.”
