Grid Thirteen Luxury Interior Furniture

What a way to start the week!

We’re delighted that our Architecture of Luxury project in North Leeds has been shortlisted for the Designerati North Design Awards, to be recognised among so many industry greats and accomplished practices whose work we admire is a real privilege and something we really are proud of as a team.

An incredible project to be involved with from start to finish, made possible by fantastic clients who trusted us with their vision, alongside a trusted network of trade partners whose expertise, collaboration and commitment helped bring it to life, a successful project which was the result of many talented people working together towards a shared goal.

Most importantly, this recognition reflects the hard work, skill and dedication of our team. Their passion, creativity and attention to detail are at the heart of everything we do, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued commitment.

We’re looking forward to joining industry friends old and new next month at the event to celebrate the very best of Northern design 🤍

A new display is taking shape at the studio.

This latest bar design explores the design principles behind our ‘blended’ concept - bringing together the architectural precision of the SieMatic SLX display cabinets with the endearing character of our handcrafted ‘Darling Maeve’ furniture.

The combination of German precision engineering and Yorkshire artisan craftsmanship creates a space where each element works in harmony, balancing clean architectural lines with warmth, texture and individuality. The linear elegance and technical detailing of SLX sits effortlessly alongside the handcrafted character of the ‘Darling Maeve’ range, resulting in something contemporary yet enduring, refined yet inviting.

Now the final question on materials remains.

Do we go with Irish Green marble with its verdant tones and subtle luminosity, or Harmony Grey marble with its elemental warmth, geological beauty and understated restraint?

We’d love to know which option you’d choose…

Our Creative Director, Natalie Fry is flying the Yorkshire flag for Northern design in the latest edition of Livingetc as part of their design expert piece exploring loft space design, featuring our stunning Yorkshire project, ‘Georgian Splendour’.

We’re proud to see Northern design being recognised in such a prestigious publication, celebrating a project designed and manufactured right here in lovely Yorkshire, featuring our exclusive Darling Maeve handcrafted range.

This project features a beautiful home rooted in heritage, craftsmanship and a quieter, more lived-in sense of luxury.

Thank you to the and the editorial team for including us in this fantastic article.

Huge well done to the Grid Thirteen boys for completing the Leeds Marathon this weekend!

Raising money for a great cause and now dealing with stiff legs and funny noises walking up and down the studio stairs.

Great to see the team celebrating the wins together!

We’re thrilled to welcome Cahir Mullan (CJ) to the studio as Design Assistant.

A formally trained product design graduate with industry experience, CJ brings a considered, technical approach where precision, material understanding and design intent align.

He will be working alongside our senior designers and project manager as he moves through his training programme, contributing to live projects while developing his own design approach within the team.

At Grid Thirteen, investing in our people is fundamental to the work we produce, and we look forward to supporting CJ’s growth and seeing how his design rationale shapes the work ahead.

Fabulous to see our Darling Maeve projects in feature on ‘Double Islands in Large Kitchens’.

Speaking with writer , our Creative Director Natalie Fry shares her perspective on why, in the right space, two islands can be better than one in a large kitchen design space.

She says, “A double island layout offers a more considered way of organising a large kitchen, rather than relying on a single, oversized island to carry each function. They allow the space to be more broken down into zones that feel more manageable and intuitive to use. Double islands also have an impact on how the space flows as two islands often improve circulation, resulting in a space that feels less congested, and more comfortable when used by more than one person.
