Nick Allen founded the company Allen & Co in the late 1980's to both expand and diversify the company's design and crafts based portfolio.

The Company has workshop and studio facilities located in Battersea, London SW11. This base allows his team of artists and craftsmen to research, design and build unique products and commissions.

From our base we design and produce furniture, fitted and freestanding, chairs, desks, tables, beds etc. architectural fittings such as feature doors and door furniture, lighting and accessories.

The reason we are different is that our designs are our own. Our attention to detail is second to none and our hands-on use in a wide range of materials is unique.

Nick Allen's reputation is founded in making well designed and crafted furniture in woods and veneers, utilising his own custom made handles. This eye for proportions and detail has lead slowly to an expansion in both the range of designs and the materials employed.

We have a great deal of experience now in manipulating: glass, metals, ceramics and wood
The repertoire is constantly being added to through on going research and development into materials assisted by the cross-over only possible in a fertile working studio with dedicated creative craft practitioners.

We believe that hands-on research is an investment in the future, giving us the opportunity to offer our customers innovative and original pieces based on years of experience and a solid reputation.

We work regularly with architects, interior designers and private clients - and ship world-wide.

We provide a full design service.

We can resolve many production issues through our experience, which may be gleaned from the following list of production hand skills.
