Most of our products start their life as an idea in the mind of our co-founder James Dowsing-Reynolds. These ideas come to fruition in his purpose-built design studio with the support of his experienced team.
They aim to give you stylish architectural design details that feel tactile, look beautiful and function brilliantly in your space.
The design studio
James finds inspiration for our lighting, plug sockets, light switches, handles and hardware in all areas of life. He continually seeks to improve the everyday products that form the foundations of a space, enhancing our sensory interactions with them and their function.
Martin and Gemma support James by helping to design and produce our products, ensuring they meet the quality you’d expect for Dowsing & Reynolds.
D&R labs
We aim to innovate. To keep pushing ourselves to produce the most stylish products in beautiful materials. Will and James work closely together, looking at how we manufacture brand-new products.
They’re so meticulous that they recently tested nearly 100 mixes of concrete to get the ‘recipe’ just right.
We seek to improve the everyday interactions in a home to provide an enhanced sensory experience – giving you a home to feel proud of.
Specialist assembly team
We source components from around the world, enabling us to find the best materials and suppliers for each part of our products.
Our expert team then hand-assembles these components at our HQ in Yorkshire. Each team member goes through around 150 hours of training to become a fully-fledged assembly specialist, helping us reach the high standards we set for ourselves.
Attention to detail
Our quality team is obsessed with detail; they cast their keen eyes over all our components, ensuring they meet our exacting standards. Although this not only applies to the QC team – attention to detail is one of our company’s core values. We live and breathe it. We always want to do better.
We want to keep helping you to create spaces you love.
