Precision-Crafted Plywood Frames

Curved frame mastery and agile manufacturing

Designers and furniture brands come to Dovetailors when they need more than just a manufacturer — they need a skilled partner who understands both design intent and production challenges. We specialise in plywood sofa frames, with a particular expertise in curved forms, where precision, strength and visual clarity are essential.

The Brief

This commercial client relies on us to deliver exceptional results that align with tight budgets and ambitious design goals.

Our Approach

We apply a collaborative, design-led process, working closely with each client to optimise the design for strength, aesthetics and cost-efficiency. Using our in-house CAD/CAM capabilities, we develop and refine digital models that translate design concepts into production-ready frames, without losing the essence of the original vision.

Curved frames are where our skills really shine. Our team has perfected the techniques required to shape plywood with accuracy and consistency. We design for structural integrity, making every joint, bend and section count.

All production is handled in-house at our Leeds workshop, where we use CNC machining and precision lathes to make sure every component meets our exacting standards. Our setup is agile and efficient, making us well-suited to both emerging designers and established brands with international distribution needs.
