The sale prices for items like the coffee table are great value. I am curious if custom work follows a similar discount structure or if those are strictly fixed rates.

1 question · Jump to Q&ABEAUD presents a compelling case for sustainable furniture through its focus on salvaged hardwoods and material circularity. The work seems rooted in a quiet resolution between material honesty and structural precision, which is appealing. However, the practical details are somewhat opaque. While there are specific prices for some items like the card holder and coffee table, it is not entirely clear how these translate to custom commissions. The website states that lead times vary depending on complexity and material availability, with most custom commissions requiring eight to twelve weeks. This is a significant window, yet the pricing structure for these longer lead times is not explicitly detailed. For someone considering a custom piece, this lack of clarity might be a drawback. The studio is based in Ascot Vale, and while the contact details are provided, the overall experience of understanding the full scope and cost of a bespoke project remains a bit of a guess until you reach out. It is a beautiful offering, but the transparency could be improved to give customers more confidence in the process.
It is good to see that BEAUD is currently open for commissions and collaborations, which suggests they are actively taking on new projects from customers. This availability is reassuring for anyone interested in a custom piece.
BEAUD looks stunning and I adore the reclaimed timber vibe, yet it is rather frustrating that specific pricing for custom commissions is not clearly listed upfront.
