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.
Truly unique
Our signature edge grain tables and desks, crafted from premium hardwoods ply, are 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.
What we make
Bespoke Dining Tables
Handcrafted in birch, poplar, red ply, and more, with timeless lines inspired by Scandinavian minimalism and natural landscapes.
Fully Bespoke Projects
We create one-off pieces — from statement home tables to boardroom centrepieces. If you can envision it, we're ready to build it.
"Design In The Sand began with a simple idea: wooden dining tables should be personal, built with intention, and made to last. I am Tim - maker, founder, and life long lover of all things wood. After years in fashion eyewear, I returned to my first passion and began making bespoke wooden dining tables that my customers could shape to suit their own homes - I would love to make one for you."
