A commissioned practice
No ranges.
No replicas.
Every commission begins with the house, the room and the people who will live there. Neil O’Brien leads the work from first drawing through to fitting.
How a commission worksSelected work
Made for its place.
Kitchens, fitted rooms and careful restoration—each resolved on its own terms.

Made here.
Drawing, cabinetmaking, finishing and fitting stay closely connected. The workshop is not a showroom of ranges; it is where each live commission takes shape.

The whole room,
seen by a furniture maker.
Neil founded Corinthian in 1994. His work as a cabinetmaker and furniture restorer brings a long view to every new commission: how timber moves, where construction matters and how a surface should age.
Private clients form the heart of the practice. Architects and interior designers are equally welcome.
