One of the key trends seen in the interior design world over the last few seasons has been a rocketing demand for bespoke furniture , where the customer can specifiy every last dimension and detail of fabric and finishing in order to create something truly individual .

BESPOKE BEAUTIFUL

At Ventura the bespoke offering on all the company ’ s furniture has been pivotal to its phenomenal success , and this trend looks set to grow as customers feel ever more drawn to creating customised and personal interiors rather than making do with a “ one size fits all ” approach .
“ With every stitch meticulously handsewn , every table-leg hand-carved and every light hand-sculpted , our workshop is always a hive of activity ” explains Arlene McIntryre , the dynamic Creative Director of the Dublin based company who is proud of her recruitment of a team of exceptionally talented artisans and master craftsmen . With an expert team of over 50 , the company prides itself on the workmanship of its bespoke furniture , and 70 % of the luxurious upholstered pieces and furniture are manufactured in their workshops .
“ They are dedicated people who excel in creativity and attention to detail and we design and craft together to create something very special for each order .”
