About
Creating beautiful objects and interiors is my passion. From my workshop in Bedminster, Bristol, I design and make each piece by hand. Being a small company, each customer is important and gets my full attention until the job is complete. Depending on the size of the project, lead times are typically about 8-12 weeks: no year long waiting lists at Runefruit.
I think English hardwoods are some of the best in the world and love to use the warmth of oak, ash and cherry in our work. Birch plywood and MDF allow for more budget-friendly projects: all have a place.
Using top quality materials is one step but I also draw on modern and traditional techniques to produce furniture and cabinets that will last a lifetime. My friendly, personal service is why most of my work comes through referrals.
Arrange a site visit
Every project begins with a visit to your home to measure up and discuss your options. I love to combine our design experience with your needs and tastes to produce truly unique results.
Design Your Dream
3D design
You will receive a 3D model of your project with a detailled quote. Communication is key - we won't stop until we have created exactly what you want. Then on payment of a deposit to secure a slot in my schedule the fun bit begins.
Production
I will produce your project to my exacting standards. Then a professional fitting process will make sure the installation runs smoothly. After that its up to you to enjoy your new bespoke cabinets however you like.
Projects
I understand that commissioning a furniture project can seem daunting whether it be a simple fitted wardrobe or the solid oak kitchen of your dreams. I will lead you through every step of the process, from design to making to fitting. And being a small outfit, you can be assured that you will have my undivided attention. Every project matters to me and nothing leaves the workshop unless it is perfect.

Testimonials
Thanks Runefruit for the excellent quality kithchen you built for us. Custom design and build in a difficult space that look great. The actual fitting was efficient and Jan cleared up all the mess once done. He is a very personable guy and easy to work with, taking all our requests and finding solutions when needed.
- Carl Fiford
I commissioned Runefruit to build a wine rack -something different that I couldn't find elsewhere. He was a pleasure to work with; he works to a high standard, is punctual on delivery and works within an agreed budget.
- Mike Pearson
Jan understood exactly what we needed and involved us with the design process at every step along the way. We couldn't be happier with the finished product. It's a stunning piece of craftsmanship and feels like owning a work of art, not just another bit of furniture.
