Devil in the detail…
As the saying goes, the ‘devil is in the detail’ and it became apparent early on that there was quite a range of heights at which the ladder rails would need to be positioned on the bookshelves, therefore we needed to devise a solution which could work with these multiple heights.


Designs and Finishes
The client had also defined his preference for an antique style of ladder and the specifics were honed through our conversations around various samples/photos of period ladders. Once the overall decisions were made relating to the style and design, we set about producing a range of 3D visuals for the client to approve. These 3D visuals are hugely important as they really bridge the gap between a written description (albeit with supporting images) and the completed piece. (To learn more about our 3D visualisation service please get in touch.) From here, the finishing choices were confirmed regarding the colours and overall finish, which in this case became a slightly lighter chestnut colour.


“ Dear Andrew – We are just starting to put up the ladder rails and they look absolutely marvellous with your beautifully made wooden ladders. Again, you have done a marvellous job and I’m thrilled…”
