We couldn’t be happier with the bespoke banquette bookcase designed and installed by Marc and his team at Special Branch. From the initial consultation to the final installation, their professionalism, creativity, and attention to detail were second to none. They took the time to understand exactly what we needed, offered thoughtful design suggestions, and delivered a product that exceeded our expectations.
The quality of the materials and the precision of the installation are truly impressive. It’s not just shelving—it’s a statement piece that has completely transformed our space.
The team was punctual, tidy, and a pleasure to work with throughout. We’ve already received countless compliments from friends and family, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Special Branch to anyone looking for custom joinery or storage solutions. Simply superb!

Odeon Cinema - Leicester Square - Spanlite feature wall.
Special Branch are a delight to work with! Marc got right into the heart of what we needed from the project and suggested various design tweaks which made both the assembly and the installation simpler. The project was completed in a very tight timescale and Marc went above and beyond the call of duty to assist us with delivery. As a company, Special Branch excel at accuracy, both in terms of communication and their physical workmanship. The fact that they're lovely guys is just a cherry on top!

Marc (Special Branch Furniture) has done several big and small jobs in my house over the last 15 years or so - shelving, fitted furniture, cupboard design stair case and loft work. He is very skilled and creative. He is a perfectionist, and the work is a really high standard - things are designed and made to last, and they do! He is also very considerate when working in someones space - very important to me. I would highly recommend him.

A pleasure to have commissioned Marc from Special Branch Furniture.
The brief was to create a ceiling to floor modular welsh dresser type shop display to have as a permanent feature in our pottery to sell our products. The design facilitates the opportunity to shape and adapt accordingly if required.
We used sustainable sourced timber and worked very close to our budget
We will be engaging Marc / SBF for any future projects and comes with a high recommendation from us.

As an illustrator that collects movie posters I had seen that other collectors were turning coffee tables into storage and display units for their posters. Great idea but I wanted something modern and unique. A friend put me onto Special Branch and I'm so happy that he did. Marc was a dream to work with. At every stage of the project I couldn't have been happier. From talking through my ideas and getting a real sense of what I was after to the concept drawings of what he felt would work best for both the use of the table and the space it was going in. Choosing the best materials, having hidden recesses for opening the draws and hidden coasters for moving the table. Marc was the perfect professional but also a joy to talk to and at every stage I felt he was as enthusiastic for the final product as I was. On seeing the finished table for the first time, it really was a WOW! moment for me. It's a thing of beauty the craftsmanship and finish is incredible. It's the first thing people notice when visiting and it's great to see there faces light up with joy. Truly can't recommend Special Branch Furniture highly enough. top class work from lovely people!
