Joachim King had a passion for making from an early age. With a father from a boat building family in the Finnish archipelago and growing up on the west coast of Scotland he was always very hands on with building things. This led to a degree in mechanical engineering from Bristol uni before a spell working for a lighting company as development engineer. However the lure of hands on woodworking beckoned and he began working as a full time woodworker in 2005 with a friend, and established cabinet maker, in Glasgow in 2006. When he re-located to Ireland, Joachim continued as a self employed maker, and grew the portfolio and the facilities over the years.

Now with a small team of skilled makers, J King & Co Ltd have been privileged to work with many amazing clients on some spectacular and varied projects. We pride ourselves on the level of care we put into every project from initial consultations through to installation. The key is a thorough dialogue to understand a client’s requirements as fully as possible and to incorporate all of these as gracefully as possible into a design. Functionality is paramount, and with our extensive experience of hardware, lighting and finishes we strive to create lasting user satisfaction. Attention to detail and precision are essential no mater the project.

Whilst we do create luxury pieces, we’re not bound by a fixation with “the best” of everything. What matters is creating realistic solutions for real life applications. Not everything requires gold leaf or mirror gloss finishes, and luxury means different things for different people! Our flexibility, experience, and facilities mean that we can tailor every aspect to best fit the project and achieve a great result. But we couldn’t create great work without the trust placed in us by our customers.
