An original study for an imagined business. Concept names and logos are intentionally blurred. This is not a client project or a claim about business results.

Concept identity

A muted green catalogue layout uses generous cut-out forms and strong typographic labels. The restrained frame makes the collection feel coherent without making every piece look interchangeable.

01 / The starting point

A website with
a clear job to do.

The imagined brief

The imagined furniture maker needs a website where strong forms and practical details can coexist. Visitors may be furnishing a room, exploring a collection or asking about a commission. The content should make those routes clear while giving each piece enough space to express its character.

The customer challenge

Lifestyle images can hide the very information a buyer needs: scale, finish and the relationship between pieces. This concept pairs room context with a repeatable product-detail structure.

02 / The design direction

Character in
the details.

The catalogue composition, colour palette and type direction give its visual identity. These choices support the way a customer explores the business.

DECISION 01

Make dimensions part of the presentation

Product information follows a consistent order, with space for measured drawings and finish options. A visitor should not have to request every basic specification by email.

DECISION 02

Show the piece in context

Room views explain proportion and use, while isolated views clarify the object itself. These complementary roles guide the future photography rather than treating all images as decoration.

DECISION 03

Give commissions a separate route

A commission page asks about the space and intended use. It can explain the maker’s process without implying that every collection item is infinitely customisable.

03 / In your hand

Considered for
a smaller screen.

Product images and specifications alternate in a predictable order. Finish choices are labelled in text, and the commission link remains distinct from collection browsing.

Sample website copy

A piece should make sense in a room

Look at the form, then consider the scale and the way it will be used. Clear dimensions and material details help a piece move from an interesting image to a considered part of a space.

04 / The page plan

A place for every
useful detail.

This proposed five-page structure follows the customer’s questions. Each page has a distinct purpose, with clear routes between discovering the business, understanding the offer and making contact.

Home

Introduce the collection and its design character.

Furniture

Group pieces by use and collection.

Piece detail

Combine images, dimensions and finish information.

Commissions

Explain how a bespoke conversation begins.

Materials & making

Connect process details with the furniture they describe.

05 / Content & discovery

Useful to people.
Clear to search.

Specific product and collection pages can address furniture types and uses. The content plan reserves space for actual dimensions and materials rather than adding generic keyword paragraphs beneath every item.

Proposed content topics for this imagined business, rather than measured search volumes or ranking claims.

Why include measured information beside product imagery?

Furniture decisions depend on fit as well as appearance. Keeping dimensions and relevant details near the images lets a visitor assess both without moving through unrelated page sections.

Should a commission form request a complete specification?

No. The first enquiry can describe the space, intended use and broad idea. The maker can then explain the information needed to develop a proper brief.
