Few studios command the range of specialist craft that MBMC brings together. From the gilded surface to the carved panel, the hand-laid mosaic to the bespoke piece of furniture, each discipline within our atelier is practised at the highest level by artists and craftspeople who have devoted their working lives to a single material, technique or form.
We describe our expertise as Material Mastery & Artistic Alchemy. The mastery of individual materials and the art of knowing how to combine them.
High quality decoration, meticulous preparation and base coating are the foundation for our specialist finishes. Our site teams, led by experienced senior decorative artists consist of the best trained painters, decorators and artisans working with paint, plaster, wax, gold and paper amongst many more intriguing materials. This highly artistic, but practical approach ensures that every project not only meets, but exceeds our clients expectations.
Our plaster finishes are hand made and coloured to specification on site before application by our artisans. Myriad finishes may be achieved from dry textural plaster surfaces to deeply polished plasters. Our range caters for every aesthetic, whether you favour monastic simplicity or the deep opulence of a Moroccan kasbah.

Fully supported by a dedicated team of CAD draftsmen and expert project managers, we are experienced in delivering the most ambitious joinery projects, rich with nuanced detail and beautiful craftsmanship.
