Our story

Built by hand, made to be kept.

Compound Workshop Co is a solid-timber workshop in Cardiff — furniture, shelving and vinyl storage, drawn, cut and finished by hand. No flat-pack, no veneer, no production line.

The story behind it

Meet Luke & Daisy.

Compound is a husband-and-wife team — Luke and Daisy Andrews. It started after our first child arrived: underwhelmed by the children's furniture we could find, we began making our own, and Autumn's Corner was born — now a much-loved name in children's décor.

As our family and the workshop grew, we wanted to bring the same craftsmanship to the rest of the home. So we founded Compound: handmade, timeless pieces in solid, sustainable timber — made to add a little natural beauty to any room, and to be kept.

Consciously shopping small

The beautiful benefits of buying from us.

01

No fast furniture

The highest-quality materials and real joinery — strong, beautiful shelving built to last, not to land in a skip.

02

Hand-crafted, properly

Traditional joinery paired with precision machinery. Skill, time and care, from rough board to smooth, sound shelf.

03

Made bespoke, for you

Each piece is made to order, specifically for your order — not pulled off a shelf somewhere.

04

A greener choice

We work as sustainably as we can, and it runs right through the business — not just the timber.

05

A truly human purchase

We see your order come through, label your piece with your name, and are always happy to chat sizing and choices.

06

Small business, big care

Every order helps sustain a small family business, built around the people in it.

How it's made

From drawing to doorstep.

01

Drawn

Every piece starts as a drawing — sized and proven before a board is cut.

02

Cut & joined

Solid timber cut and joined with real joinery, built to stay square for years.

03

Finished by hand

Sanded and finished with hard-wax oil to bring out the grain and protect it.

04

Packed & posted

Boxed in our own laser-cut packaging and couriered UK-wide, fixings included.

As seen in

“The Peg Rail shelf, from £125.”
