Rick Forward's philosophy is to create beautiful and functional interiors with minimal environmental impact. As lockdown restrictions are relaxed we are pleased to have more flexibility with site visits and installations. We do continue to pay attention to social distancing and to maintain high hygiene standards when visiting your home. We are noticing price increases and availability issues with some of our materials but are doing our best to ensure this does not impact too heavily on our customers.
If you would like a quotation or wish to discuss your kitchen furniture, or furniture for your home or office, we can do this by telephone, email, video call or site visit. This year we were delighted to once again host Riverside Arts group of artists and makers as part of Cambridge Open Studios.
We would like to say a big thank you to all our visitors, it was so good to be able to welcome people to our workshop again, and we had some great comments about the fabulous range of furniture, prints, ceramics, paintings, weavings and embroidered textiles.

Services
New from Old works with you to give your initial idea form and function in a style that both excites and works for you.
We carefully choose the wood for your furniture and handcraft it using traditional cabinetry methods.
Methods of joinery have evolved through the centuries to give tried and tested cabinetry which withstands the test of time.
We employ many of these traditional methods because they work.
For example, all our drawers are fully dovetailed to give strength and durability where it is needed.

Reclaimed pine lends itself to country style furniture suitable for the grand house through to the more humble dwelling.
Antique pine is longer lasting and more durable than new pine.
It is possible to achieve a wide range of colour effects from bleached limewash to the rich deep warm colours of the natural wood.

New from Old only buys accredited sustainable wood from suppliers who ensure that the wood comes from well managed and sustainable sources.
We also endeavour to source and purchase local or native wood.
New from Old does not use tropical hardwoods, unless they are from a reclaimed source.
There is a wealth of choice of temperate zone sustainable hardwoods.
These tend to be selected to make the most of their grain characteristics so that the grain of the wood becomes part of the kitchen design.
Some customers choose dramatic wood grain effects as an integral part of their furniture.
