Solid wood kitchen style
Twelve months ago, after a dozen or more years spent working for other people, Maungaturoto-based cabinet maker Jake Hill took the plunge and set up Prime Design Furniture and Cabinetry.
Although building and fitting kitchen cabinetry is his bread and butter, Jake’s first love is designing and making furniture from solid timber. This has led to some stunning cross-overs into some of Prime Design’s kitchens.
According to Jake, setting up his own business was ‘a big learning curve’ and 2018 started fairly slowly. Business is really picking up now, thanks to word of mouth recommendations from happy clients, a bit of local signage and Facebook advertising.
As a mobile cabinet maker, Jake didn’t invest in a workshop and machinery up front — instead he gets all his kitchens cut and edged at Cutshop® North Shore.
