HOW WE WORK

Initial briefing
We hold a preliminary meeting to discuss the project and your specific book and design requirements. We will then provide a full brief of the project and a comprehensive quote.

The collection: Our team of in-house experts will curate and assemble your bespoke collection. Each title will earn a place in your library based on its quality, relevance, and beauty, from contents to cover. We can also advise on any shelf design requirements.

Installation: Your library will be delivered by our team of experts. We understand the importance of creating not only an engaging library but also a beautifully presented room or collection. Installation and display are available upon request.

Follow-up: Our team will remain in contact to ensure the ongoing success of your library. We are always glad to offer seasonal updates or recommend new publications that will complement your collection.
