James Boult Design

Custom Furniture

A special piece of furniture can complete a room and last a lifetime. I love creating timeless, one-off pieces that are perfect for your space. With custom furniture, you should never have to sacrifice form for function and my designs marry considered style with intrinsic practicality.

Whether your tastes are for exotic hardwood or furniture-grade plywood, country farmhouse or contemporary aesthetics, I design and build custom furniture to suit your individual needs.

Theatre & Events

I build sets and installations that surprise and delight an audience. From immersive worlds for companies such as Punchdrunk, to art installations and pop up restaurants, I create designs and lead teams to realise complex and innovative built spaces.

Working for clients including Punchdrunk, The Old Vic Tunnels, Lazarides Gallery and Nomad I have built sets and installations for Stella Artois and Grey Goose Vodka, and within spaces such as National Maritime Museum and Tate Britain.

Interior Solutions

The interaction between space, light and object is a fine balance that is intrinsic to strong interior design. I am adept at gauging a space, and in response to individual needs, design and build interiors that can be at once practical and stylish.

Whether a small living room, a problematic basement or a cavernous office there is a successful design waiting. With considered design, you can create a cosy corner in an open area or transform a pokey room into a light and airy kitchen-diner. I love the unique challenge that each space presents and am yet to meet one that bests me.
