Welcome to the website of Stuart McKinven, a furniture maker and designer based in Jedburgh in the Scottish Borders, who specialises in the design and manufacture of high quality bespoke furniture and woodwork. Stuart has produced furniture for clients throughout the UK and his portfolio covers a wide range of commissions for business, home and outdoors, generally manufactured from hardwood grown and sourced in Scotland.
The design of any piece is developed, in conjunction with the client, from the initial idea to the final design. Carefully selected timber is then skilfully hand crafted to produce the finished product - a process which embodies the essence of bespoke furniture design and manufacture. The result is an amalgamation of the dreams of the client with the expertise and passion of the maker.

Services
In 1999, Stuart McKinven graduated from Glasgow College of Building and Printing with an HND in furniture Design and Manufacture. He also completed a foundation course in Art and Design. He helped form the Woodschool furniture collective in the Scottish Borders, where he was involved in product development together with the design and manufacture of both individual and low volume multiple run quality pieces.
There is a choice of materials and design variations specifically uniting the vision of the client with the knowledge and skills of the maker. Once the decision to commission a piece has been taken the client and maker discuss the requirements in detail. While face to face discussions have advantages I have successfully manufactured many pieces where a design brief has been developed by telephone, email and post.
