Crafting Bespoke Furniture of Distinction. At Studio 1718, every piece begins with an idea and is realised through an uncompromising dedication to design, material integrity, and British craftsmanship.
We create truly bespoke furniture for private clients, interior designers, and architects who demand originality, precision, and beauty without compromise. Led by founder Michael Mancini, Studio 1718 draws on Scotland’s natural landscape, the family values of our Italian heritage, and the enduring influence of masters such as Thomas Chippendale and Sir Edwin Lutyens. Our work is rooted in tradition, yet defined by a contemporary understanding of how exceptional furniture must perform in the world today.
Each commission is conceived as an heirloom. Designed to endure. Made to be treasured.

We partner with discerning private clients, leading interior designers, architects, developers, and hospitality brands who seek a luxury furniture maker capable of translating ambitious design intent into exquisitely crafted reality.
Whether you are commissioning a singular statement piece, developing a fully resolved interior, or restoring an architecturally significant space, Studio 1718 offers a rare combination of creative sensitivity, technical mastery, and meticulous project delivery. From first sketch to final installation, we manage every detail with clarity, discretion, and care.
Our portfolio spans private residences, heritage properties, flagship hotels, and corporate environments across the UK and internationally. We design and manufacture one-of-a-kind furniture including dining tables, desks, cabinetry, beds, games tables, wine rooms, libraries, and architectural joinery—each piece tailored precisely to its setting and purpose. While inspired by classical traditions, our work is never derivative. Every commission is 100% bespoke, designed from first principles and crafted specifically for the client, the space, and the brief.
Based in Ayrshire, Scotland, Studio 1718 serves clients across Europe, North America, and beyond. Our furniture is defined by clarity of proportion, depth of material, and an obsessive attention to detail. Whether elegantly traditional or confidently contemporary, every piece reflects our belief that true luxury lies in craftsmanship, restraint, and longevity. We invite you to explore our work. If you are considering a bespoke commission, we would be delighted to begin a conversation.
