A team of creatives
Personal relationships are vital to the David Harber experience. So we work closely with you to make sure you get exactly what you want. We can work directly with you, or in collaboration with your own designer, contractors, consultants and project managers. Our team can offer advice at every stage of the process – from engraving, materials and finishes to the more technical elements involved in a water feature installation. If you’d like to meet the team, the door of our Oxfordshire workshop and design studio is always open.
The magic of conversation
Whether you’ve decided on a piece, or you just want to sound out any aspect of our work, then please do get in touch.
