Your project in the canton of Basel-Stadt

Basel-Stadt is an urban canton made up of the city of Basel and the municipalities of Riehen and Bettingen. On both banks of the Rhine, Grossbasel and Kleinbasel combine old townhouses, early twentieth-century apartment buildings and contemporary architecture. The old town, with its steep lanes and inner courtyards, can make vehicle access tricky. Greener Riehen has mainly villas, while hilltop Bettingen keeps a village feel. In such a dense setting, parking, scaffolding and rubble removal need forward planning. The local language is German, but your request can be written in English without difficulty. For any work on an old building or in the old town, check with your municipality beforehand. State the district or municipality, postcode and parking arrangements or access to the building's courtyard.

  • In the old town, describe the width of the street and whether there is a lift.
  • For a flat in a rental building, say whether the owner or the property management company has given their agreement.
  • Mention whether there is space in the courtyard to store materials during the work.

Bespoke furniture in the canton of Basel-Stadt

For bespoke furniture in Basel-Stadt, provide dimensions, ceiling height and photographs of the intended position. Describe the items to store, loads, desired access and any existing features to preserve. If the premises are rented, explain whether the fitting should be removable and which alterations have been agreed. The maker should assess the actual wall or floor construction before anchoring is specified. Include delivery access, preferred finish and constraints around doors, windows or services so the design fits the room and its use.

  • If you rent, ask for a self-supporting unit with a discreet wall fixing that is easy to fill when you move out.
  • Check the width of the stairwell and doors: in old Basel buildings, large pieces are sometimes delivered in parts to be assembled on site.

Frequently asked questions

How should a bespoke piece match existing furniture in Basel-Stadt?

Provide photographs or samples of the timber, colour and hardware to match, and identify the existing piece that serves as the reference. Natural materials and old finishes can vary. Ask how the proposed sample and final design will be approved before fabrication, rather than assuming a photograph establishes an exact colour match.

How can I turn a furniture idea into a workable brief?

Describe what the piece must hold or support and how it will be used, alongside its appearance. Add approximate dimensions and photographs of the space. Ask for drawings and material samples where helpful, then confirm final measurements before fabrication starts.

What should I compare in bespoke furniture quotes?

Compare materials, construction, hardware and finish against the same design. Clarify drawings, delivery and on-site assembly. Ask which dimensions need site confirmation and how changes are approved, particularly where the piece must fit around existing walls, equipment or other furniture.

How should I prepare for the bespoke furniture visit or work?

Photograph the proposed position and the delivery route, including stairs and narrow doors. List items to store or support and finishes to match. Keep the measuring space accessible and approve the final design and samples before production of customised components.
