When helping to bring any space to life, we combine practicality and understanding with lots of creativity and vision. Each quality needs the others to make it all add up perfectly. We call this process seamless thinking.

Practicality

At Dovetail we recognise that every project has its own specific objectives and is therefore unique. So it's down to us to provide practical solutions to our clients' goals and to deliver.

We take responsibility for all aspects of project implementation - providing a single point of contact between a customer and the many manufacturers, agents and specialist contractors that are involved in the realisation of a new interior. We procure, store, move, install, maintain and re-plan existing corporate spaces as well as procure, deliver, install and maintain completely new facilities. And we instruct users in the operation of our furniture and how to get the best from their investment.

Understanding

Furniture is only a small part of the overall solution - more importantly we know how offices work. By working with designers we can help you develop your business culture.

We know that capturing and using informal and formal communications can help a company to thrive. We know that people need to break away from their desks, to move around, to bump in to colleagues, to have places to focus, to meet and chat. But every company has a culture, and we understand that to develop the most appropriate result means working together with clients, architects and designers to ensure that the furniture solution truly fits the needs of the organisation. This understanding of a client's needs, being respectful of project related issues such as crucial timescales or benchmarks that need to be met, and being able to apply our experience and knowledge of the workplace is crucial for the success of any project.

Creativity

The ability to conceptualise and develop appropriate client solutions is what sets one proposal ahead of another.

At Dovetail we believe we bring creativity to all of our furniture solutions. Based at our London and Bristol offices our sales teams work effectively with architects and interior designers, ensuring that they have the most appropriate tools for capturing their ideas and solutions. Creativity isn't just about layouts and plans though. We like to think that our sales people and customer services teams all have the ability to find creative solutions to business needs.

Vision

Vision comes through strong communication - and unfailing support.

The leadership of a project and managing it through to installation, and then in to maintenance, with an eye on future needs, takes skill and knowledge. At Dovetail we ensure that the vision of any project is managed by the best project managers with close and unerring support. Bringing the vision of a project to fruition requires teamwork, and that team requires focus, real cohesion and determination. It requires seamless thinking.
