Projects

Utology Designs, furniture and accessories designers based in Birkenhead, are known for their beautiful handmade pieces defined by their simple form and practical function. Their focus is on designing products with a timeless utility, as they are functional and created with quality materials, ensuring they are valued and cherished for years. All product development by Utology revolves around storage and organisation to create solutions that make everyday tasks easier in the home and office. Clean lines, a pared-back aesthetic, and understated elegance are essential components of the team’s furniture range.

Bespoke furniture solutions

The professionals love creating bespoke pieces for specific use. For example, they designed and created a custom shelf for an artist with different zones for storing items within quick access when working. Specific spaces were created for water pots, a slot for an iPad, and a large pencil and brush holder to keep the artist’s workspace clutter-free. Similarly, the team works with each client to understand their needs before designing a perfect piece that takes care of storage and organising requirements to improve the space’s functionality. Every piece is handmade in the team’s workshop in the Wirral, just south of Liverpool.

Products and services

Utology specialises in furniture and accessories for storage and organisation, ranging from shelves, tables, and mail holders to wall hooks. The team also undertakes full interiors projects for individuals and businesses, designing and creating custom furniture for an entire home or office. Whether a single piece for a residence or a large batch of furniture and accessories to furnish hotel rooms, every piece is unique and tailored to meet specific needs. 

A recent project for a new jewellery shop – the team’s first and one of their most ambitious and exciting projects – included designing and making every piece of furniture – cabinets, shelves, and counters.

Besides taking on more full interiors projects, the team plans to expand their current product range to include new shelf designs.

Signature style

Utology’s furniture is defined by clean lines and angles and has a lightweight appearance. Hardwoods, such as walnut, oak, and ash, are the primary material of the product range, with brass and felt complementing the design. The product range is ideal for those who love quality, sustainably made furniture and homewares.

The design ethos includes using responsibly sourced materials, minimising waste, and building products to last. All timber used for the products is FSC/PEFC grade. Bespoke live edge timber may be storm-damaged or dead standing. Since products are made to order, Utology only makes as much as is needed. Their off-the-shelf range, with small items such as wall hooks and shelves, allows them to keep offcuts to a minimum. The offcuts produced are used as kindling or given away for composting as sawdust. Since all products, whether custom-made or a part of the portfolio, are made of solid wood, they can be repaired and refinished to make them last a lifetime.

Get in touch

Customers can initiate a conversation with the Utology team via email. After the first talk, the team sets up a meeting with the client, either in person, online or over the phone, to understand the requirements. Based on the meeting inputs, the team sketches a range of design ideas and provides a quote. 3D models and detailed plan drawings are presented to help clients get a clear idea of the appearance of the finished piece. Once the final design is approved, the furniture is handmade in the company’s workshop and delivered and installed, if required.

Company awards
Utology received the “Best Newcomer” award, judged by the head of retail of The Design Museum, at Pulse London, the first exhibition in which they participated. The award reinforces the team’s philosophy of paring back a design as much as possible to optimise its functionality.

Love it

I had a coat rack customised with alternating scorched and oak hooks, which fits perfectly with our decor. The craftsmanship is superb, and I was so thrilled with it that I ordered an entryway shelf, which again is used daily. I highly recommend Dan as his work is impeccable and I’m sure I will probably be ordering again in the near future!
