What Is Eidos Design Studio?

Updated

Eidos Design Studio is a custom furniture design and making studio led by master woodworker Glenn Ward. It is for people who need furniture that does not exist off the shelf — pieces built to exact specifications as one-of-a-kind work. The studio also offers a limited set of signature pieces that can be ordered in a chosen wood type.

What the studio does

The core business is custom furniture: clients bring requirements where no existing furniture fits, and the studio designs and builds a unique piece around them. Alongside fully bespoke work, Eidos offers signature pieces — a select number of designs you can order to be created for you, specifying the type of wood you want.

Named signature pieces shown on the site include:

  • Thauston
  • Curvaceous
  • the Mirror
  • Bathos
  • Tables
  • Donum Bar Stool
  • Semion Bar Stool

Who runs it

Glenn Ward is described as a master woodworker producing high-end furniture for discerning clientele. The studio states it uses only the finest grade materials, chosen for tactile richness and aesthetic beauty, and meticulous techniques aimed at furniture of enduring quality that appreciates in value. The style is characterized by sinuous curves and rectilinear lines — described as both timeless and contemporary, classic yet modern.

Range of craftsmanship

The breadth of work listed on the site covers far more than standard tables and chairs:

Category Examples
Seating Chairs, Lounge Chair, Bar Stools (Donum, Semion)
Tables & desks Tables, Dining Table, Desk, Piano Desk, Chess Table
Storage & display Bookcase, Display Case, Display Stands, Credenza, Cabinets

The list ends with "And more," indicating the studio takes on work beyond these categories.

How the custom process works

The site lays out three steps:

  1. Custom Process — The studio understands the unique requirements, crafts a sketch, and the design is agreed to.
  2. Execution — The furniture is hand crafted to meet the client's exact requirements.
  3. Finished Furniture — The completed custom piece is delivered to the client.

When to contact them

If you have a furnishing need that no existing product satisfies, or you want one of the signature designs made in a specific wood, the site directs you to call for a consultation and contact Glenn. Pricing, lead times, and shipping details are not stated on the page, so those would need to be confirmed directly with the studio.
