CM PRETLOVE
CABINET MAKER
Every cupboard, drawer, panel and door that I have made, has been specifically designed down to the last detail to best suit the particular tastes and practical requirements of the client and their project. Style, proportion, ergonomics, workflow and storage requirements are all carefully considered and discussed in order to achieve an optimal balance of sometimes conflicting requirements. This results in designs as individual as the clients themselves. One outcome of this approach is that novel design features, layouts and solutions inevitably feature in every project undertaken, transforming your vision into a uniquely personal, flawlessly executed, triumph of functional beauty.
About
Christopher Pretlove
I started learning the principles of woodworking and manufacturing by my father’s side through most of my childhood. Father was a cabinet maker.
My formal design education began at A-level, studying Design Technology, Art with Art History and Engineering Drawing.
Post philosophy degree, employment started in the bespoke woodwork manufacturing industry, with which came the realisation of the extent that the manufacturing technology defines the design parameters.
Setting up own workshop 10 years ago allowed experimentation with new manufacturing techniques. These techniques subsequently expanded my design horizons and informed my own style. Over the last year I have taken the results of this work to develop my first product, the CG 1060 chair.
