Creators of unique handcrafted furniture for those who recognise and appreciate the best in creativity, design and quality.

Here at Stables Furniture our fine craftsmen and designers work using the best of modern technology combined with traditional craftsmanship to create inspiring furniture.

We are a family business with over 25 years of knowledge and skill in the business of making high-quality pieces.

Paul Stables is the leading master-craftsman and established the business with his wife, and business manager, Robyn. Paul has developed his techniques both offshore and in New Zealand, passing on his skills as a teacher to others in the industry.

Paul offers his clients individually crafted pieces, which reflect the integrity, character and individuality of both its commissioner/owner and the artisan. His meticulous work ensures quality and epitomises the very best in craftsmanship.

You will find Paul's work in some of Auckland's finer homes as well as the hotels, boardrooms and offices of those who like to make a statement and value outstanding work.

Our Work

Design
We offer individual designs to our clients and also work with you and your design ideas. As the commissioner, you can be as involved in the design of your furniture as you want. We can turn your precise vision into a reality or come up with a design base on a brief set of needs and wants.

Quality
Our priority is total client satisfaction. Each piece is carefully designed with attention to detail and a dedication to the personal relationships we form with our customers to help achieve their dreams. Since we are a small family company, we really do care. It is imperative to us that our customers are happy with the furniture we create for them.

Style
Stables Furniture & Design creates bespoke (individually or custom-made) furniture that enhances your day-to-day living. We do this by providing harmony and functionality to your living or working space, maximising visual appearance and purpose with high quality, skilfully made beautiful furniture.

Retail & Business.
As with any workplace, a retail environment has to be special to those that visit and those that work there. Space has the added responsibility of displaying what you are trying to sell in a manner that reflects the products in the best possible light.

Depending on what you are trying to achieve with your retail fit-out, we can add the same sense of reflection seen in our residential furniture to your retail environment.

Be it point-of-sale, fittings and fixtures, storage solutions or the office, we have a potential solution to your problem.

Lounge & Living
Often the living room has to be all things to everyone - a place for the family to relax together and watch television, read or listen to music; a play space for young children; a room for entertaining, which can lend itself to being dressed up for special occasions.

We create lounge chairs and couches, coffee tables, bookcases, storage pieces, television/media cabinets and occasional tables to incorporate relaxation, entertainment, and functionality to this central space.

A well-designed piece of furniture can be the focus of this area.

Furniture that is coordinated and suits your theme will enhance your home and reflect your style and values

Bedroom
A bedroom should be a space to withdraw to and offer something special: a place to rest, recuperate and connect with the soul. This space should be intimate and reflect those that will retire there. Beautiful sophisticated furniture will create a mood for the room.

Whether it has an elegant bed as the main focus, cleverly designed nightstands, or a hand-crafted armoire or dresser to store you precious clothes and processions, your bedroom should be your own personal space with your own personal style.

Children's bedrooms can be a place to have a lot of creative fun. Bunk beds and themed bedroom sets can add life to a room. Interesting and well-crafted toy boxes, shelves and storage options can transform a disorganised mess into a functional and inviting room.

Kitchen
Today the kitchen is the heart of most homes. It is a well functioning workspace or a beautifully ordered entertainment space that caters for your family or guests.

Like any other room in your home, a kitchen is also about style and luxury. A well designed and crafted kitchen can transform your home.

Maybe your kitchen is tired and dated. Or perhaps certain aspects really irritate you.

Many of our clients find that a kitchen makeover gives them renewed inspiration because their new space is such a joy to work in.

Dining
The dining room is a special area where family and friends come together to bond over meals. Now you can give this space a personal touch with furniture that reflects your attitudes. From formal dining to casual living this space can be the centre of your home life or a space to retreat to for entertainment and dining.

We create beautifully designed dining tables, chairs, buffets, sideboards, barstools, and storage solutions for this important area.

Laundry
Your laundry should be an elegant part of your home rather than an afterthought.

Throughout the design process, we will work through how you want to work in this important space of your home.  You may require bench space for folding, shelving, space for sports clothes and muddy shoes etc.

While designing around your laundry needs we will work to incorporate the beauty of the rest of your home into this space.

Bathroom & Laundry
The bathroom is a space to cleanse, relax, rejuvenate and meditate.

We will design the furniture and cabinets for your bathroom with your personal needs in mind.

We can give you options to plan a better bathroom and add the extra facilities you need.

Your cabinets, storage units, mirrors, shelving and accessories can reflect luxury and appeal incorporating aesthetic considerations, but also ergonomics and functionality.

The Service

The process of deciding on a design for your furniture can be a daunting one.

We will take time to guide you through the process offering as much or as little advice as required. Sometimes a gentle nudge is all that's required to bring a concept to life.

All you need to do is give as a call or drop us an email and we can have a casual chat about what you want to achieve. We are happy to come and visit you or arrange for you to come and visit us at our workshop. At the workshop you will be able to appreciate the craftsmanship, which goes into each piece of furniture.

If your project requires us to coordinate with your home or office or your furniture is to be fitted, we may need to measure and evaluate on-site.

From here we can discuss the possibilities, match existing materials, colours, styles and assess space requirements.

We will provide you with costings to help you make choices that will realise your dreams within your budget.

The Workshop

You are most welcome to visit our workshop.

Just give us a call to arrange a suitable time.

Here you will see us creating beautiful furniture using traditional and modern cabinet making techniques from bare timber to a finished piece.

In all our work we ensure that the finest quality and creative freedom is kept in balance with value for money.

Materials
The materials we use are selected to suit your needs, and we work with a wide range. We are committed to sustainable and renewable forestry practice and the practice of paying a living wage.

We only use certified resources and pride ourselves on the fact that we go to great lengths to attain and use only the best of products sourced both here in New Zealand and around the world.

We also source the best of international hardware, fixtures and fittings.

Media

Over the years our work has been showcased in several leading design magazines. Our most recent work appears in the August 2009 House and Garden NZ magazine.
