The WALDORF design collection                    
Simply elegant, modern-natural, relaxed-formal, traditional......
Each of these designs is HAND MADE by ourselves using mouldings specially machined to our specification.  
Frames are dovetail jointed, 5-times sanded and completely finished, using traditional methods.  
The result is a superb creation that is entirely original and of very high build quality.

"With so much of our daily lives affected by rush, 
propelled  by high tech increasingly fast-paced 
technology, intermixed  with the day-by-day 
frustrations of trying to fit more and more into less 
and less time (or so it appears) something gently 
natural to come home to (or quietly enjoy in the workplace) 
is an essential and potentially healing prospect".

to WS42

The next suite of 4 designs are quite special:  A little more 'formal' they have solid hardwood-ASH outer frames  superbly finished in BLACK, 
 matched to carefully chosen inner frames.  Inner frames are almost "BLACK" with an ever so slight lightening-hint of deep red/dark brown.   Although here as seen they look slightly different (due to being photographed at different times) they generally match.
This set really are quite spectacular!

NOTE HOW THE ABOVE 2 MODELS LOOK DIFFERENT IN FRAME COLOURS.  WHEN WE PREPARE THEM THEY DO MATCH 
ONE ANOTHER!  BUT YOU CAN ASK FOR A DARKER OR LIGHTER FINISH..WE WILL DO OUR BEST. 
HERE WE ARE SUBJECT TO THE TRICKS OF FLASH PHOTOGRAPHY.

 

A variation on a theme!  This is the WS42 in 'all black'
which just shows the prospects for alternative frame
format options we offer!
It isn't actually 'all black' but very rich 
dark brown/almost black in the finish.

Another variation on a theme!  This is the WS42 in 'IVORY'
Buyers who have seen the Ivory will recall that it isn't as
'bright' as shown here but a lovely restrained off-white.
