A FEW WORDS FROM TOM 3 OUR PHILOSOPHY 4 CRAFTSMANSHIP 5 HOW OUR FURNITURE IS MADE 13 CUSTOMISATION 29 BESPOKE SERVICE 29 THE WOODS WE USE 55 CHOICE OF WOODS 56 CHOICE OF MATERIALS 57 COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMERS 58
TOM SCHNEIDER I always design freely without worrying about the practicalities or limitations of manufacture, which ensures that the design is never compromised. I revel in the challenge of finding innovative and some - times complicated methods of turning my designs into practical furniture. My influences often come from nature and architecture rather than other furniture designs. I began in a small workshop, making unique bespoke furniture, before launching my first collection in 1996 including the Swirl coffee table and the DNA shelves, which are more popular today than ever. It is wonderful to hear how passionate customers are about my furniture. It is their feedback that has driven me full circle, back to where it all began, designing inimitable bespoke furniture for individual customers. I am extremely proud to be in a position today to offer you this extensive collection which can be customised on request, and to introduce you to our comprehensive, bespoke services. 5
OUR PHILOSOPHY We are passionate about creating unique, distinctive furniture with a strong sense of movement. The designs are pure and honest; they are beautiful in form and need no additional detailing. We believe that furniture should stand the test of time and not go out of fashion; instead they should become contemporary classics. We are committed to sourcing woods from parts of the world where we can be confident that there is no illegal logging. We strive to make our furniture ethically as we believe that we all need to preserve our natural resources for future generations. 6 7
CRAFTSMANSHIP Every piece of furniture is individually handmade by a team of craftsmen and we have no large scale machinery in our workshops. Your furniture is only made once you have chosen exactly what you want, as we do not keep stock. This means that, by ordering a Tom Schneider piece of furniture, you are choosing a truly unique creation. 8 9

HOW OUR FURNITURE IS MADE Most of the designs are made using unique, innovative methods and our workshops are full of handmade formers and unusual jigs which help us to create the distinctive shapes for which we are known. All the items in your order are made at the same time and we select all materials to match, ie from the same tree. The flowing curves are created by laminating plywood, which is many thin layers of wood glued together, to form incredibly strong shapes. They are then skilfully veneered by hand. 26 27

Bespoke and Customisation Service You can be involved in designing a unique piece of bespoke furniture; either by customising an existing design or designing something totally original. CUSTOMISATION Because our furniture is handmade to order, you can customise our designs to suit your individual needs. You can choose to customise our furniture with small changes, usually at no extra cost, or make larger alterations that we will quote for through your local stockist. We pride ourselves on the fact that we listen to our customers, and as a result, we have brought out several new standard designs due to requests to customise our furniture. BESPOKE SERVICE Long before Tom Schneider designed his current collections, he was designing and making one-off pieces of bespoke furniture for clients. He is passionate about design, and is always excited to work with customers' ideas. Bridging the gap between bespoke and designer furniture, Tom Schneider can design a completely bespoke creation made for you. Our technical team is on hand to discuss your requirements, before working closely with Tom to produce drawings. The process is simple and straightforward and your bespoke order will be placed through your furniture supplier, making your purchase local and accessible. Unlike other bespoke furniture makers, we do not charge for consultation or drawings; therefore you will not be asked to commit until you are completely happy. It is only then that we will start to make your unique design. We are always happy to talk to you about your specific needs. Please feel free to e-mail specials@tomschneider.co.uk or call or fax us 52 53

THE WOODS WE USE We use the very finest veneers available. Veneers are cut from tree trunks that are clearest of branches, thus avoiding large knots and blemishes. They can be laid next to each other to produce seamless joins, which is not possible with solid wood. Using veneers is more environmentally ethical than using solid wood as only a tiny fraction of the timber is required for each piece. We ensure that our veneers come from well-managed forests in countries where we can be confident that there is no illegal logging. Wood is a natural and wonderful material; no two pieces are the same and this adds to the uniqueness and beauty of your furniture. 88 89
MAPLE CHOICE OF WOODS ASH OAK CHERRY Natural Cherry darkens dramatically when in contact with sunlight. This change is most notable in the first few weeks. At about eight weeks the process will have slowed but it will continue to darken subtly over time. You can clearly see the difference between the smaller area, which has remained covered, and the larger area, which has not. This is important to note as you will receive the furniture before it has been exposed to sunlight. WALNUT WENGÉ-COLOURED VENEER It must be appreciated that natural grain patterns, sap and resin markings will vary from tree to tree. While we make every effort to match all products, it must be accepted and appreciated that, by using real wood; there will always be a variance in appearance of grain and markings.

We are committed to environmental issues. Whether or not you agree with the argument that mankind is creating global warming, we feel it is a very positive step to reduce pollution through chemical and carbon emissions. We are also concerned about global deforestation leading to a degraded environment with reduced biodiversity.
