What makes great furniture & lighting ateliers?

This plate lists 268 shops in 63 countries. Nairobi has the most with 13, followed by Baytown with 7. Among these shops, 17 describe made-to-order work, 3 offer repairs and 5 sell online, going by their own descriptions.

Ask what the piece is made of: ask for the timber or metal and how the joints are made.

Ask for a lead time: made-to-order furniture can take months, so agree a delivery date before paying a deposit.

Ask about delivery abroad: ask who arranges crating and insurance for a large piece, and who pays the import duties.
