6 award winning and accredited - complete assurance Locally sourced materials Joel Seddon is one of our skilled furniture designers Quality and precision at every stage We attribute our success to our wonderful team of skilled professionals, people who have practiced their craft for many years using high quality, locally sourced materials combined with the latest machinery and proven cabinet making skills. All of our design and manufacturing processes require human input, so people are involved every step of the way, checking for quality and precision. Much of the finishing work is done by hand too, which is rare and we think very special in today s automated world. What s more, all of our furniture is made to order, which is not always the case in today s mass-produced world. This means that we always know who we re making our furniture for. You will also be reassured to know that we look after the environment too and all of our wood comes from renewable sources. As a result of our support of the environment our company is FSC accredited. 06

11 the beginning of your new 1891 kitchen Mortise and tenon joints Raw timber - start of the build process The first step in the process of making your new 1891 kitchen is sourcing the raw materials. Once the real wood, veneers and panel materials reach our factory, they re brought indoors to settle and acclimatise. All timber is moisture checked regularly during this initial stage to make sure it s absolutely ready to become a beautiful 1891 kitchen. When the real wood has settled and our quality team is satisfied, then it s good to go, and the large wooden boards are cut into smaller strips, ready to be machined into the elements contained in your new 1891 kitchen. Our team then profiles the strips and cuts the necessary mortise and tenon joints depending on the range you ve chosen. The stiles and rails of your new doors are now starting to come together and we have the beginnings of your new 1891 kitchen. 11

12 matisse PADSTOW BLUE & GLACIER combine different tones of colour to create a perfect blend An 1891 fact: All our veneers are kept in our humidity and temperature controlled area keeping them in optimum condition to provide you with a lifetime of trouble free use in your new kitchen. 12

14 the collection the 1891 kitchen collection is available in 30 contemporary colourways and in two fashionably popular door designs The Littendale Shaker design is available in either Natural Oak or our rich American Walnut. Mondrian uses the same Shaker design and is available in 30 contemporary paint colours shown. Peter Kenny cutting veneers Tony Rodgers stitching veneers Patrick Madigan spraying 1891 furniture David Hughes quality checking veneers The 1891 Aspect and Matisse ranges use real wood veneers, which are thin slices of wood peeled from the trunk of a tree, similar to how a pencil sharpener works but on a large scale. The wood veneers are carefully selected by the vastly experienced Peter Kenny (who has been part of the Ellis team since 1972) to create a natural and complementary effect, taking account of the true beauty of real wood furniture where no two pieces are ever identical as unique as your own fingerprint in fact. Once the veneers are selected, they are then stitched together by Tony Rodgers, another long standing and experienced member of our team who has been with Ellis for 26 years. Every panel then goes through a calibrated sanding process, to ensure each component is the correct size and is 100% smooth, before the veneers and timber-edged panels are bonded together - we now have your new 1891 kitchen door or furniture panel in its raw state. Littendale American Walnut Littendale Natural Oak For a sleeker look, Aspect is our slab door design available in either Natural Oak or our rich American Walnut. Mondrian Padstow Blue Matisse follows the slab door style and is available in the 30 contemporary paint colours shown. This is where your doors change into the colour you ve chosen for your 1891 kitchen so if it s Padstow Blue or Glacier, or both, this is where the creativity starts. All of our 1891 kitchen ranges are finished by hand. Whether painted or a natural woodgrain style, our skilled team prepare the furniture with primer and/or undercoat and then paint or lacquer every piece of furniture, all by hand, all in a controlled, dust-free environment, keeping your new 1891 furniture in pristine condition. During this process we once again sand the furniture to ensure it s absolutely the correct thickness and evenness.

33 the beauty of your new 1891 kitchen Each veneer is individual Veneers that have unique characteristics Choosing natural real wood products for your home will add charm and character to any interior style the uniqueness of the material, the texture of the woodgrain and the characteristics of each piece adds real beauty and value. The 1891 kitchen collection uses a variety of solid wood and veneer species (e.g. Oak, Walnut, Ash), all of which demonstrate beautiful natural markings such as knots, flared grain, colour contrast and grain variety. These characteristics give each piece of furniture an inherent beauty and are the result of natural growth patterns through the seasons of the years. Over it s long life, your 1891 real wood furniture will also mature, which is a natural process influenced by your everyday environment, such as sunlight, artificial light, ventilation and air quality. This natural maturing builds further character into your furniture. 33
