Projects That Speak Volumes
Dodds & Shute’s portfolio is as diverse as it is impressive. From the chic Room2 Chiswick Hometel offering top-tier accommodation in both urban and rural settings, to the AM Office designed to boost productivity and collaboration—each project is tailored to its unique environment. Then there’s the Long Residence, where interiors are bespoke and lifestyle-focused, and the Les Bordes Clubhouse, a place to dine in elegant surroundings with fine international cuisine. Oh, and don’t forget the Samsung Experience Centre, a sleek commercial retail space that rounds out their varied portfolio.
Products That Represent the Future of Responsible Manufacturing
Dodds & Shute’s catalogue is a treasure trove of beautiful furniture and lighting, all chosen with sustainability front and center. Their commitment goes beyond just sourcing; it’s about pushing the industry toward a responsible future. This means every piece isn’t just stylish—it’s made with an eye on environmental and social impact. The company’s journey started in 2017 when they began viewing their business through an environmental, social, and governance (ESG) lens, and it’s been a game-changer ever since.

They’ve made a legal commitment to stakeholder governance and are transparent and accountable every step of the way.
