About Us

Nick Shute & Stefan Dodds
Our Story

Dodds & Shute was founded by Stefan Dodds and Nick Shute over ten years ago with one aim: to make the design industry more beautiful, responsible, and connected. What began as a shared belief in doing things differently has grown into a multi-sector furniture partner working across workplace, hospitality, and residential projects.

At our core, we believe great design isn’t just about how something looks, it’s about what it stands for. As a certified B Corp (the first in our industry), responsibility guides everything we do, proving that doing good and doing well go hand in hand.

Our team of 25 specialists blends design insight, sustainability expertise, and operational excellence to help clients create spaces that inspire today and for the future. By championing emerging talent, auditing suppliers rigorously, and combining creativity with measurable impact, we deliver thoughtful, responsible solutions that balance ambition with real-world delivery.

We don’t just manage projects, we become your partner, ensuring every space works beautifully for people, businesses, and the planet.
