Glyph Design Servic

This is how we work - and you will enjoy the experience

All work is carried out in our studio in suburban Adelaide to stringent quality standards.  We have developed our own computer and laser techniques and the meticulous maunual processes involved in managing diverse veneers in varying conditions, with a range of glues, substrates, finishes and applications.  A large part of the work, however,  remains handwork following traditional  methods.

We work closely with our clients, their graphic designers or architects to sensitively interpret their own images in wood. In some details we might be able to point out technical aspects that could influence the design; or, to suggest ways to take better advantage of the remarkable beauty of this medium. It is equally feasible for us to create our own designs to client brief. Whatever the arrangement however we liaise fully throughout the project, providing proofs, visuals and samples as may be justified. Of course we observe the strictest confidence.

Typically our commissions involve short runs up to two hundred but we have the flexibility to accept larger orders and of course can produce one-offs.

It is good thing to involve us early in your project. By sharing the seed concept, and looking at proposed images we establish a team approach to the development that will ensure smooth progress through to completion.

Boardroom table - SA Business Coop

Originally the designers sent us simplified artwork (top) because they thought the original logo was impossibly difficult to work!

We asked for the complete design (bottom) and delighted everyone with the result.
