Design

The alignment of form and function represents Longpré’s creative principle. A desire to escape the vernacular and re-imagine the familiar is a natural instinct that we can all recognise. As designer-makers, Longpré thrives on this creative impulse – working alongside some of the world’s leading architects and designers is a much-valued privilege; accompanying our private clients on their own creative journey is a collaboration that we relish.

Craftsmanship

The extensive experience, knowledge and skills of our master cabinet makers enables Longpré to explore the boundaries of contemporary craftsmanship, establishing a reputation for unrivalled quality and expertise. Traditional cabinet making techniques, supported by modern technology, drive our practice of continual innovation in process and material to achieve results unique to our workshops.

Heritage

Longpré has its roots firmly established in the 18th century Golden Age of English Furniture, a period in history which saw a significant enhancement of the existing design aesthetic and rapid advancement in construction methods. This watershed in the refinement of English interior design was led by luminaries such as Chippendale, Sheraton, Adam and Hepplewhite who remain household names to this day. Longpré recognises cabinet making as a true vocation and considers its mentorship role as a serious long-term commitment to help protect the future of this most exacting of bespoke crafts.
