Each bespoke piece begins in dialogue — between the material and the mind shaping it.

THE BESPOKE PROCESS

BESPOKE AT STEN IS ABOUT COLLABORATION. WHETHER YOU’RE EVOLVING A SIGNATURE PIECE OR CREATING SOMETHING ENTIRELY NEW, WE OFFER A CONSIDERED AND COLLABORATIVE PATH TOWARD YOUR FINAL OBJECT.

ALL DESIGN DRAWINGS ARE PRODUCED IN-HOUSE BY OUR MELBOURNE TEAM, EACH ONE APPROACHED AS AN EXTENSION OF THE MATERIAL ITSELF. EVERY LINE IS DRAWN WITH INTENTION, INFORMED BY THE STONE’S NATURAL CHARACTER. DUE TO THE HANDS-ON NATURE OF OUR PROCESS, TIMELINES MAY VARY DEPENDING ON PROJECT SCALE AND COMPLEXITY. WE APPRECIATE YOUR PATIENCE — THIS IS CONSIDERED WORK, NOT FAST DESIGN.

STEN RESERVES THE RIGHT TO DECLINE ANY CUSTOM REQUEST THAT COMPROMISES ORIGINALITY OR MATERIAL INTEGRITY. WE DO NOT REPRODUCE OUTSIDE DESIGNS. EVERY PIECE MUST HOLD ITS OWN BALANCE AND HONESTY.

——

01 — SELECT YOUR FORM

BEGIN WITH ONE OF OUR CORE DESIGNS OR SUBMIT YOUR CONCEPT. EACH PIECE IS A STARTING POINT — DESIGNED TO BE REFINED, ADAPTED, OR REIMAGINED.

02 — DEFINE SCALE

ADJUST THE DIMENSIONS TO SUIT YOUR SPACE AND FUNCTION. PROPORTION AND BALANCE CAN BE TAILORED WITH PRECISION.

03 — SELECT MATERIAL

CHOOSE FROM OUR CURATED STONE LIBRARY. EVERY SLAB IS HAND-SELECTED IN MELBOURNE FOR TONE, VEINING, AND VARIATION. TRADE CLIENTS MAY REQUEST SLAB SELECTION BY IMAGE OR IN-PERSON VIEWING.

04 — RECEIVE QUOTE & DRAWING

FOR MODIFIED PIECES, A QUOTE IS PROVIDED PROMPTLY. FOR CUSTOM WORK, ONCE THE DESIGN DEPOSIT IS RECEIVED (OR DRAWINGS SUPPLIED), OUR TEAM PREPARES TECHNICAL DRAWINGS AND FINAL PRICING. WE DO NOT PROVIDE RENDERINGS — EACH PIECE IS RESOLVED THROUGH LINE.

05 — PLACE YOUR ORDER

ONCE APPROVED, YOUR PROJECT MOVES INTO OUR STANDARD PRODUCTION PATHWAY — BEGINNING WITH PRE-PRODUCTION, FOLLOWED BY FABRICATION, QUALITY CONTROL, AND FINAL DELIVERY.

Please note: slab selection may extend lead times depending on availability and approval.
