What it is like

Three things people notice first.

Not perks. The things that actually differ from the last workshop most of our people came from.

Open roles

What we are hiring for.

Send a note and, if you have them, photographs of work you have made. We read everything and reply either way.

On the floor

Upholsterer — full time, Riyadh

Three years or more on frames, foam and hand-stretched fabric. You will work on made-to-order pieces from day one, not sample stock. Experience with leather is useful but we will teach it.

Cabinet maker — full time, Riyadh

Mortise and tenon by hand and by machine. We work almost entirely in solid walnut and oak, so a feel for how timber moves matters more than speed on a CNC.

Finisher — full time, Riyadh

Hand-rubbed oil, five coats, in a dust-sealed room. Patience is the whole job. We will train the right person from a related trade.

Front of house

Showroom consultant — full time, Riyadh

You will spend your first month in the factory, because you cannot sell this furniture without having watched it being built. Arabic and English both needed.

Project coordinator — full time, Riyadh

Scheduling contract work against retail capacity, and keeping architects informed before they have to ask. Suits someone from site management or interiors procurement.

Come and sit in it first.

The showroom on Al Kharj Road holds every piece in this catalogue. Book a slot and we will have the fabrics and finishes waiting on the table.
