For over three decades, Ian Knapper has been a name synonymous with exquisite craftsmanship and innovative design, breathing life into natural stone through unique creations that evoke a sense of enduring beauty and joy. While staircases have long been a central focus of our commercial endeavours, we’ve witnessed a shifting landscape in the world of architectural stonemasonry. Today, fireplaces, bespoke commissions, and broader architectural projects are increasingly important to our brand. Our approach is as distinctive as our creations – open, engaging, and deeply respectful of the character of each property. We immerse ourselves in the nuances of every project, drawing upon a profound understanding of form and feel to unlock the true potential of a space. Our unwavering commitment to craftsmanship, innovation, and design ensures that every piece we create adds enduring value and timeless beauty. In Ian’s early career, he honed his skills through involvement in historic building restoration projects, collaborating with esteemed organisations such as The National Trust and English Heritage. While working on these projects was a privilege, Ian yearned for a more creative outlet to fully express his design sensibilities and innovative spirit. Armed with formal training, traditional skills, and an innate eye for beauty, Ian embarked on a journey to expand his business and portfolio, embracing projects where design and innovation could flourish alongside the traditional craft of stonework.
