Transforming Spaces with Creative Wisdom
Founded by principal designer Giles Slater in 1991, and jointly managed for the past 20 years with his Swedish-born wife, Karin, both bring a complementary wealth of creative wisdom to the business.
Our Latin business name, Figura, conjures associations of space, shape, form, beauty, and style. These markers form the bedrock of our approach.
Our Figura Showroom in Chiddingfold Surrey
Our showroom is based on the beautiful village Green in Chiddingfold, in the picturesque Surrey countryside. The space doubles as both our creative design studio and as a welcoming, by appointment showroom. Relationships sit at the heart of all we do, and for us one size does not fit all.
We believe that the quality of our workmanship in your home should enhance and complement the property you are custodian of. For us promoting bespoke design credentials, means that they are ‘truly’ bespoke – designed and handcrafted to work with the nuances of your property, not off-the shelf designs forced to fit.
We focus on projects in Surrey, Sussex, Hampshire and London
Our thoughtful, high-quality designs are always aesthetically beautiful and immensely practical. Alongside our own in-house design, cabinetry and interior design team, we also have long standing relationships with the very best local suppliers, trades and property professionals.
Our Team
Our core team is closely involved in every project, ensuring continuity, clarity, and a consistent design vision. For larger or more intricate schemes, we build a trusted team whose skills align precisely with the needs of the project. Whether the team is two people or twenty, the standard remains the same.
Each collaborator is an expert in their craft, local to us, aligned with our design values, and someone we’ve worked with for many years.
Clients often tell us how seamlessly our team works together, how considerate and attentive everyone is on site, and how reassuring it feels to have a well managed team they can trust in their home.
“It is rare to find a company that places excellency, principles and relationships at the heart of its business and this is what Figura is about.”
