KCP Furniture & Finishing
9A Regal Lane, Soham, CB7 5BA
KCP Furniture & Finishing specialise in creating beautiful and functional bespoke furniture and building projects. Kitchens, offices, bookcases, cupboards, wardrobes, window seats inside the home and sheds, garden rooms and workshops outside – from design right through to installation – every piece is uniquely created to suit the client and their space. Projects are designed in close consultation with the client, using materials and styles to suit every budget.
Kate Polak trained as a carpenter and joiner in 1999 and has been designing and making for clients ever since, producing work that is both stunning and ingenious. As a woman working in a predominantly male industry, Kate offers a refreshingly different approach to her clients – listening and responding to their requirements flexibly, without imposing ideas on them.
Ian Taft trained as a boat builder at the International Boatbuilding College in Lowestoft. Boat building requires a high level of skill in creating items that will fit irregular spaces, which is very useful for most houses too! He has been manufacturing specialist joinery and furniture for architects and designers since 2007. He also specialises in high-end sprayed paint and lacquer finishes.
Together as KCP Furniture & Finishing, Kate and Ian operate from a large, well-equipped workshop in Soham. Here each bespoke piece is designed, constructed and spray painted before being installed on site. In 2020 they took delivery of a CNC (computer numerically controlled) machine – so large it had to be craned into the workshop – which has allowed them to speed up their production processes and manufacture more intricate and complex designs.
Most projects are in and around Cambridge, and their work is popular. So, if you’re looking for some beautiful and original furniture to enhance your home, take a look at their website. You’ll be inspired.
