CUSTOM MADE FURNITURE
Are you tired of having the same furniture as everyone else ? Do you want to be original or dress up a wall in your living room ? Design the furniture of your dreams with an interior architect !
Perspectives Architecture & Design supports you from conception to realization to turn your dream into a tangible reality ! By choosing to create custom furniture, you opt for originality, quality, and durability. From simple customization of IKEA furniture to solid wood pieces that add character to your apartment, creating custom furniture offers numerous advantages :
ADAPTATION AND SPACE OPTIMIZATION
The walls, corners, floors, and ceilings of your home will no longer be obstacles. Pre-cut in the workshop and then re-cut on-site, a custom piece of furniture is perfect for adapting, especially to older buildings. It is designed to make the most of every square inch of your space.
QUALITY AND DURABILITY

The first meeting
We can't emphasize enough : you don't entrust your project to just anyone, whether it's for a complete renovation project or the creation of a simple custom piece of furniture ! You are looking for an interior architect who can understand your needs, translate your ideas into a concrete project, and guide you throughout the process. Here’s what we believe the perfect professional should be able to do during this first exchange :
LISTEN
It's essential ! If a professional interrupts you and isn't attentive, run away!
Listening allows us to gather as much information as possible about your project, and this should be done without judgment and with complete kindness. This is the starting point where we collect everything necessary for the smooth progress of the project.
UNDERSTAND
If you're contacting an interior architect, it's probably because you're facing a problem or have a project in mind...
An experienced professional practices active listening to understand your tastes, constraints, expectations, and projections. This helps to gain a deeper understanding of your needs and the challenges of your project.
INFORM
Finally, we are here to provide you with information. You will have an experienced professional by your side, so take the opportunity to ask all your questions ! There are no stupid questions ! It is the interior architect's responsibility to inform you from the outset about what they consider possible or not, the legal framework, and an estimated budget...
The sketch of your furniture
We give ourselves three weeks to complete the sketch phase of your custom furniture and schedule our next meeting. From the start of the creation process, we work in 3D modeling with various proposals. During this phase, you will discover different furniture designs that will serve as the starting point for our collaborative discussion. So what happens during this first meeting, and what deliverable will you have in hand? This is the moment to:
TO AGREE
We start by establishing a specifications document to agree on the project's objectives. This includes :
-
Project presentation : the main lines, objectives to achieve, and client expectations.
-
Possible constraints of the project to consider : technical, budgetary...
-
A description of the furniture or furniture pieces to be created and the areas involved.
DIAGNOSE
We assess the feasibility of your furniture project. Analyzing the various constraints allows us to determine whether your furniture project is feasible and if the budget is sufficient. When creating custom furniture, it’s essential to consider acute and obtuse angles, walls that are never straight, a sunken floor, etc. We also need to pay attention to the weight that your floor can support.

From the sketch phase, we use 3D views to help you better envision the different pieces of furniture we propose. This is an opportunity to see which ambiance you prefer or to eliminate certain options from consideration. This is done according to your tastes, our ideas, and the possibilities.
Keep in mind that some proposals may be unconventional : their purpose is to push you out of your comfort zone or to help you see things from a different perspective!
Are you wondering what 3D views look like and what we're talking about ?
Definitive project design
The further we progress, the more the project is refined. We have taken your feedback into account and are improving our 3D views to align more closely with your tastes ! We are now considering the materials to be used, the techniques employed, and the artisans who will create your furniture.
The definitive project design allows us to deliver a final and definitive file. This file helps transition from dream to reality : budget, material selection, technical details... It is sometimes mistakenly thought that creating furniture doesn't require all this information. In reality, artisans can only correctly realize your furniture if the instructions are clear and precise. Here’s a non-exhaustive list of what your final deliverable, properly prepared by your interior architect, includes :

Technical drawings, axonometric views, elevations, sections...

our areas of intervention
Our regional expertise extends throughout Paris intra-muros. Although our interior design firm is historically located at 261 rue du faubourg Saint-Martin in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, this does not prevent us from working everywhere! Currently, we have completed projects in the 9th, 10th, 13th, 15th, 17th and 19th arrondissements.
We also work in the inner suburbs (Hauts-de-Seine 92, Seine-Saint-Denis 93, Val-de-Marne 94). In Hauts de Seine, we mainly work in Asnières-sur-Seine, Bois-Colombes, Colombes, Courbevoie, La Garennes-Colombes and Levallois-Perret since these are the towns around where we live. We are also keen on projects in the surrounding areas: Reuil-Malmaison, Issy-les-Moulineaux, Boulogne Billancourt....
We have an extraordinary advantage for getting around: we are on a motorbike! So we no longer have any limits (not even traffic jams): in this way our radius of action also extends to other cities in the Île-de-France, covering Essonne (91), Seine-et-Marne (77), Yvelines (78) and Val d'Oise (95). Among the many cities, we can mention La-Celle-Saint-Cloud, Charenton-le-Pont, Chatou, Le Vésinet, Versailles, Saint-Nom-la-Bretèche, Marnes-la-Coquette, Vaucresson, Maisons-Laffitte, Sceaux, Saint-Rémy-lès-Chevreuse, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Saint-Maur-des-Fossés, and many others.
We also offer to carry out projects remotely, as was the case, for example, with this project in Athens . Once the quote has been taken, we work on our computers, so it's easy to work remotely! And let's not lie to ourselves, since COVID, it has become a habit to hold meetings on Zoom, Googlemeet, or Teams...
