Train your head and hands to do, your head and heart to dare.
Joseph Seamon Cotter Jr., poet
From the initial inspiration, to the carefully chosen materials, meticulous attention to detail, precise joinery and sensuous finish, we at
zelouf+BELL understand the value and significance handcrafted furniture can bring to our lives. We all seek meaning and spiritual comfort, deeper connections; lives lived in the present, consciously and intimately. The language of the maker speaks of excellence, of worth, of value. Comfort comes from the warmth and feel of the wood; meaning comes from working purposefully and with a full heart, keeping the beautiful in mind.
At
zelouf+BELL, we believe low tech is good; our designs are still hand-drawn at the drawing board, produced by our extraordinary team of skilled cabinetmakers in our workshop in the midlands of Ireland. We combine superior workmanship with a passion for all aspects of creating a piece of furniture, maintaining the delicate balance between handwork and machinery. We endeavor to make our furniture as functional as it is beautiful, in designs expressive of our personalities; practical, elegant and built to endure, our pieces are a pleasure to live with.
Current commissions include furnishing the Embassy of Ireland Residence, Ottawa, a penthouse apartment in Dublin city centre, and a small collection of contemporary pieces incorporating Connemara marble.
Commissioning furniture is a leap of faith; we invite your head and heart to dare. Telephone 087 230 5386 or email
