The Cutting Room is a Brighton workshop that designs, cuts, bonds and finishes bespoke acrylic work — display cases, POS, signage, exhibition fixtures, retail fixtures and custom cut parts — for British retailers, brands, agencies, schools, museums and makers. Every job is made to the client’s brief. From a single piece to a 5,000-unit rollout.
The work is always different. The materials and the kit and the people are the same. That’s what bespoke actually means.— The Cutting Room team

There’s no catalogue, no system, no off-the-peg fixture you pick from a printed brochure. Every job we take on is designed for the specific client, the specific brand, the specific space and the specific product going on display.
That sounds inefficient until you realise it’s the only reasonable way to do this kind of work. A retailer’s counter isn’t the same dimensions as another retailer’s counter. A museum’s plinth isn’t the same height as another museum’s plinth. A school’s honours cabinet doesn’t hold the same trophies as another school’s. You either bespoke it or you compromise it.
One of the differences when you work with us is that the person quoting your job is normally the same person making it. There’s no “sales team” passing the brief to a “production team” via internal email. The brief stays with one person — usually Lawrence — from first conversation through to delivery. Questions come back faster, changes happen quicker, mistakes are rarer.
We’re small enough that this works. We make enough volume to justify the equipment, but not so much that we lose the thread of any individual job.
The cutting, bonding, finishing and packing all happen in the same Brighton workshop. We don’t outsource production. We don’t subcontract bonding to a unit in Manchester or ship parts overseas for finishing. If you visit (which you can, by appointment), you’ll see your job on the bench being made.
No agencies, no resellers, no middlemen taking a cut. The price reflects the actual materials and the actual workshop time. That’s why some of our work is more affordable than you’d expect from a bespoke maker — not because we’re cutting corners, but because there’s nobody between you and the people making the thing.
The shorthand version of what we tell new clients before we quote anything.
No catalogue, no off-the-peg. Every job designed for the client.
