Made to your drawings, dimensions and finish requirements.Bespoke Metal Table Frames & Bases
Ash Architectural manufactures bespoke metal table frames and bases for furniture makers, interior designers, joinery companies and fit-out contractors across the UK.
From a one-off coffee table frame to a small production run of dining table bases, we work with you to turn your design into practical, carefully finished metalwork.
Manufactured in our Nottingham workshop, with material and finish options to suit your project.
Metal Frames Made Around Your Design
An off-the-shelf table base does not always suit the proportions, materials or appearance of a bespoke piece of furniture.
We manufacture around your requirements, considering the tabletop dimensions, finished height, leg positions, fixing details and space needed beneath the table.
Whether you have a detailed drawing or an initial concept, send us what you have and we can review the manufacturing requirements before quoting.
What We Can Manufacture
Coffee Table Frames
Bespoke frames and bases for round, square, rectangular and individually shaped coffee tables, including designs that combine different metals and finishes.
Café & Restaurant Table Bases
Bespoke table bases for hospitality interiors, manufactured to suit the dimensions, finish and quantities required for the scheme.
Dining & Meeting Table Bases
Made-to-measure bases for dining tables, meeting tables and communal furniture, with leg positions and proportions considered around the intended use.
Furniture Components
Individual legs, support frames, brackets, stretchers and decorative metal details for furniture makers and specialist joinery companies.
Console & Side Table Frames
Slim frames, decorative bases and supporting metalwork for console tables, side tables and occasional furniture.
Built to suit your chosen table top
Designed around different tops, weights, and fixing details. Not a standard option, because we understand not everything is the same.
Materials & Finishes
The choice of metal and finish affects both the appearance of the frame and how it can be manufactured.
Depending on the design, options can include:
Mild steel with a powder-coated finish.
Satin or polished stainless steel.
Brass components and decorative detailing.
Satin, polished, antique and patinated brass finishes.
Bronze-effect powder-coated finishes.
We can review your material references and advise on suitable manufacturing and finishing options. Samples can be discussed where a finish needs to coordinate with other elements of the project.
Designed to Work With Your Tabletop
We can manufacture supporting frames for projects using timber, stone, glass and other tabletop materials, subject to reviewing the design and support requirements.
Before manufacture, we agree the relevant details with you, including:
Tabletop dimensions and approximate weight.
Overall table height.
Support and fixing positions.
Legroom and seating arrangement.
Delivery access and any assembly requirements.
For specialist tops, support and fixing requirements should also be confirmed with the tabletop supplier.
One-Off Pieces & Small Production Runs
We welcome enquiries for individual commissions, first-off pieces and repeat quantities.
For furniture makers developing a new product, we can quote for an initial piece and discuss subsequent production once the design and specification have been agreed.
For interior designers and contractors, we can manufacture frames as part of a wider package of bespoke metalwork.
