How to Contact Eidos Design Studio for a Custom Furniture Consultation
Updated
Call Eidos Design Studio to arrange a consultation with Glenn Ward, the master woodworker behind the studio. The site's "Want to have something created?" section directs visitors to "Call for a Consultation" and to "contact Glenn." This route suits you if you have a furniture requirement that no existing piece can meet and you want something built to your exact specifications. If you already know you want one of the studio's signature pieces, you can instead order it directly by selecting the wood type — no consultation is described as necessary for that path.
What to expect from the consultation
Eidos Design Studio describes its custom process in three stages:
- Custom Process — The studio works to understand your unique requirements, then crafts a sketch, and the design is agreed upon.
- Execution — The furniture is hand crafted to meet your exact requirements.
- Finished furniture — The completed custom piece is delivered to you.
The consultation is where stage one begins, so it is the point at which you explain what you need and the studio starts translating that into a design.
How to prepare before you call
The studio's stated starting point is that clients "often come to us with requirements where no existing furniture is available and it needs to be custom made – one of a kind." To make the first conversation useful, bring:
- The piece you need. The studio lists display stands, fireplace stands, tables, chairs, chess tables, credenzas, lounge chairs, home theatre furniture, bookcases, display cases, bar stools, desks, dining tables, cabinets, wall dividers, piano desks, and more.
- Your specifications. Since the work is made to exact specifications, dimensions, intended use, and any constraints are the details that drive the sketch.
- Material preferences. The studio says it uses only the finest grade materials, chosen for tactile richness and aesthetic beauty. For signature pieces, wood type is the one choice you make when ordering.
The alternative: ordering a signature piece
If your need matches one of the studio's signature pieces — Thauston, Curvaceous, the Mirror, Bathos Tables, and the Donum Bar Stool are named on the site — you can order it to be created for you by selecting the type of wood you want. This is a simpler path than a fully custom commission and does not require describing a one-of-a-kind requirement.
What the site does not specify
The website does not publish a phone number, contact form details, pricing, or lead times in the material available. It only states that you should call for a consultation and contact Glenn. For the actual number or contact channel, use the studio's contact page or the contact details listed on eidosdesignstudio.com.
Quick decision guide
| Your situation | Suggested route |
|---|---|
| No existing furniture meets your requirement | Call for a consultation with Glenn |
| You want a listed signature piece in a chosen wood | Order the signature piece directly |
| You are unsure which applies | Start with a consultation and describe the requirement |
Either way, the first move is the same: reach out to the studio and describe what you want made.
