What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Bespoke furniture making and fitted joinery define the output of this Manchester workshop, where Khes is named time and again for the attention lavished on individual commissions. Before any drawing begins, he takes the trouble to learn how a room is arranged, how it is decorated and what the piece must actually do, then shapes the design around those answers.

Commissions cover a broad range: shelving strengthened to bear the weight of a record collection, wardrobes that brought order to an open, cluttered area, a concrete dining table incorporating an ice tray, a floating desk and bar finished in microcement for a home office, assorted cupboards and a long run of LED lighting track. Reviewers repeatedly note the standard of the completed work, installation that kept to the agreed timing and prices viewed as reasonable for what was delivered.

Planning and correspondence are described as smooth, with customers valuing design guidance that refined their own rough sketches and dimensions. A cabinet for a library, built to display ceramics from community workshops, and a reception desk for a barbershop show the same care applied to cultural and commercial work. Patience with clients new to furniture design and practical suggestions that improved functionality come up as well.

Really beautifully made unit, Khes was super helpful and took the time to design it to our needs & specifications. Great to work with, definitely recommend!

Can’t recommend Khes and his craftsmanship enough. I’d drawn up a rough design and measurements for some bespoke wardrobes, and he was able to advise some more functional option to complement the design. The space we had before was open and cluttered, now we’ve got these beauties to hide everything behind! We’re extremely happy with them!

All projects that have been undertaken from shapes in space, have been amazing. From commissioning a heavy duty concrete outpost dining table (with ice tray) to a microcement floating desk and workspace/bar in my home office…and various other cupboards, shelves and a bespoke 6m LED lighting tracks. Sharpe in space are able to understand what we needed and elevate the concept even further with their unique and experienced approach in design and installation. from showing cad concepts, to tidying up after the job was complete ( both of which are rare for most trades these days!!) the stand of work and the attention to detail was second to non. simply one of the best

Can’t recommend Khes highly enough. A genuine craftsman who takes real pride in his work. He built and installed some bespoke shelves (reinforced to hold my vinyl collection) and cupboards and the work was premium quality done on time to a good price and amazing attention to detail.

Khes built and fitted my wardrobes and I couldn’t be more happy! The communication and planning was very efficient! I’ve plans to have more work done in the new year and will for sure use Shapes in Space

I collaborated with Khes on an art project to design and make a cabinet for Bootle library that would house a collection ceramic plates and bowls from a series of community workshops. I had no experience in furniture design and Khes was incredible from start to finish - helping me to design a project that still felt very true to my work and aesthetic, offering amazing design advice to complement my ideas. Part of the brief was to incorporate and reuse decommissioned library shelves whilst maintaining a contemporary feel. He absolutely nailed it even with material, and dimensions restrictions. The combination of functional/practical design with playful and experimental is perfect, a real talking point and will be used in the library for years to come.

Kes made a bespoke reception desk for our barbershop. Would highly recommend. Very professional service from start to finish and the quality of his work is un matched. Highly recommend
