It all began in the 90’s…..

SCAPE was born with no more than a man with a plan!!

After a visit to India in the late nineties, our founder Chris Brandon, was invited to help with an organisation called El Shaddai, which was in the process of opening sheltered housing for India’s desperate street children. El Shaddai was the very first charitable organisation to help the orphaned street children in the province of Goa, India. Chris was soon enjoying his involvement within the charity and was eventually made treasurer for the international fund raising operation.

After this, he began spending three months a year living in India, traveling the length and breath of the country. It was during these trips that he discovered many of the wonderful skills of the local artisans and craftsman, who were creating beautiful handicrafts.

Inspired by a love of travelling as well as a love of deliciously handcrafted products, upon his return to the UK in 2008, SCAPE Interiors West Ltd was opened in Bournemouth, Dorset.

Still today since 2008 our passion for travel only grows and grows. We continue to go all over the world, meeting new people and working with the local communities in search of wonderful inspired treasure to bring back and fill our lovely shop!

So, what do we sell?

We have a vast array of interesting unique finds, here are only a few;

  • hand carved collectable chess sets from Italy
  • handmade replica pistols from Spain
  • handmade leather journals from Turkey
  • hand embroidered armchairs from India
  • premium quality cow hide rugs from Brazil
  • hand made shell lamp from Indonesia
  • handmade woollen hats and gloves from Nepal
  • Ashleigh & Burwood fragrance lamps
  • Woodwick candles, alphabet placemats, stunning silk flowers, handbags and scarves

What’s our difference?

When it comes to our furniture, we aren’t an ordinary furniture shop, we are not a furniture shop that bores you to death with just a load of wood or is focused on just hitting that sales target.

Our furniture shop is a jungle, an oasis, a sanctuary, it is a place that takes your mind off around the world picturing your new pieces in your home.

You can browse through our unique ranges and get details in our catalogue which holds 100s of pieces to excite you.

Working with our suppliers in India we have designed a range of light mango wood furniture that we are very proud of. We are also in the process of developing a brand new range of wooden furniture that will be exclusive to us. This is so exciting and we can’t wait to show you.

Many of our products are sourced fair trade where possible and the origins of our products is very important to us!  We have a strong fair trade ethos and strive to ensure our suppliers receive a fair price so that the men and women creating our unique finds take home a good local living wage.
