Olympic fever sweeps the nation

When Beijing put on that incredible spectacle of an opening / closing ceremony, the guys here at Customonenine like most thought Team GB could never match that. 

Well hats off to Danny Boyle and the thousands of organisers as London 2012 have given the UK much reason to be proud.

Gone were the depressing stories from the front pages, forgotten was the pre-game pessimism, and in its place a huge wave of national pride and optimism we may never see again.

The influence left by the world's biggest event on our capital can’t be understated, from the sporting legacy that will see a thousand kids running down the garden like Bolt, to the inspiration it has given millions more from Art, Design, literature with the simple message … Chase your dream as it just may be possible!



We look forward to seeing what this inspiration brings to the Custom One Nine store in the coming months!

The Age of Social Media

We are well and truly in the age of social media and when even your mum has a Facebook page or Twitter account, you know the takeover is complete.

Say something controversial and it’ll make the front pages for any celebrity, and gives us an insight into more than we could ever have wished to see – Jodie Marsh take note!


Together with our associated artists we are all on Twitter so get following us for the latest updates, product sales and you daily fix of generally cool stuff!

Beano and Dandy decoupage chairs

The biggest blockbusters of the Summer might be The Avengers and Batman but our buddies at Jump SQ are ensuring a different type of comic hero remains cool.

They have produced some excellent (and very popular) retro Beano and Dandy decoupage chairs. No two the same!



The painstaking work put into these pieces has to be admired and the high quality will ensure that these will remain in your family for longer than the original comics ever could.

We are very proud of our association with Jump SQ and look forward to stocking some of their new items later in the year.

Celebrity Mug Shot are looking for more Celebrities Downfalls

Celebrity Mug Shots have produced some excellent work for Custom One Nine over the past year and are excited to see which celebrity will be the next to take that infamous walk of shame, hold up and the name and number sign and smile.

We're sure the guys at Celebrity Mug Shots will be rubbing their hands every time they see someone going off the rails. Charlie Sheen and Lindsay Lohan take a bow!


In 30 years’ time will those names will live in infamy in the same way as the current faces (of Jimi Hendrix, David Bowie, Ozzy Osbourne & co.) that adorn the mugs and cushions? 
Who would you like to see in the next lot of Celebrity Mug Shots? I'd personally cheer for these two great actors in their mindless crazy youth, Dennis Hopper and Jane Fonda. 




The age of the rock star may have passed but long live the age of the celebrity downfall that’s what we say!!!

The P Type table is gathering its admirers!

Hand crafted from Yorkshire ash, a handmade Yorkshire stone plant pot sits in the centre of the table supported by the structure of the table.

This exquisite special edition Ash table, is hand crafted from solid locally sourced Yorkshire ash. A handmade Yorkshire stone plant pot sits in the centre of the table supported by the structure of the table. Created exclusively for Custom One Nine, this special edition piece is limited to only 9 editions.


Designed by award winning product designer Piers Tucker, this really is a unique piece of British design. One of the final few to qualify from Brunel's Runneymede design academy, Piers has deigned an exclusive limited edition range of products for Custom One Nine. 
Sustainably sourced timber, even for its size, the castle table’s ash comes from forestry commission supply and is cut in a old Yorkshire sawmill by traditional methods. Its then hand crafted in a Victorian workshop using time-honored production techniques. 



The Ash is cut and worked while still wet and air cured when finished, this means that it warps and cracks slightly, in the first few months of its life. This give's it a natural feel, while maintaining the beauty of the crafted wood, these limited edition tables, truly are one offs.
Made from one tree approximately 200 years old. From source to production the timber and stone has only travelled 20 miles before being put on display here. 



There's a three month waiting list for these tables, made to order by the master craftsmen at Custom One Nine workshops. They are then individually signed off by the artist. Please be aware these tables are only being produced in extremely limited runs. Upon order we will keep you informed as to the progress of your custom made Castle Table at all stages of manufacture.


Included with the price is delivery & installation within a 200 mile radius of Leeds. It also a requirement that the table is to be installed on a solid floor, due to the shear weight of the item. We would recommend that you contact us if you have any doubt about the floor that it would be installed on. As a general rule of thumb, the table is the same weight as a grand piano.

This edition is 160(L)x104(W)x40(H) CM and weighs approximately a 1000kg.
Please contact us if you have any questions, or custom requirements.
