About
At Design in the Sand, we are passionate about creating handmade solid wood furniture with a focus on two distinct promises:
Any Size.
Any Shape.
Any Colour.
Every table is made just for you custom built to your exact size, shape, and colour specifications.
Whether it’s an unusual footprint or a unique finish, we tailor each piece to match your style and your space.
Distinctive Edge Grain Table Tops
Design in the Sand is a Cornwall-based studio inspired by the
rugged natural beauty of the coast. Our journey began with a personal
search for the perfect dining table and evolved into a bespoke,
design-it-yourself service defined by quality craftsmanship and customer
choice.
Founder Tim, after a successful career in fashion eyewear retail,
returned to his first passion—woodworking. From our renovated workshop
in Mid Cornwall, Tim and his team create each piece with keen attention
to detail, sustainability, and a dedication to meaningful, long-lasting
design.
