What We Do — Design · Manufacture · Install · Care
One roof. Every tradeyour space needs.
Most projects fail in the gaps between designer, supplier and contractor. NDB closed those gaps in 2013 by putting them all in one building. What follows is everything we take responsibility for — and how.
Service 01
Residential Interior Design
We begin with how you live: where the light lands in the morning, where guests gather, what a Saturday actually looks like. Then we plan the space, draw the furniture, and build it — living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms or the whole home. Because your sofa, dining set and cabinetry come from one workshop, the room arrives speaking a single language: one timber tone, one stitching logic, one standard of finish that survives real family life.
Includes
- space planning
- custom furniture design & manufacture
- upholstery & fabric selection
- lighting-aware layouts
- wall art & decorative objects
- installation & styling

Service 02
Commercial & Office Fit-Outs
An office is a machine for concentration. We build the quiet into it: partitions and glazing that manage sound and sight-lines, reception areas that state who you are before anyone speaks, workstations and boardrooms specified for years of daily use. Our teams deliver around your working hours and hand over on schedule — the way we did for One Acre Fund's headquarters and Rwanda Mountain Tea's offices.
Includes
- office partitioning (timber & aluminium)
- glazing
- reception & front-of-house
- workstations, desks & storage
- boardrooms
- shopfitting & renovations

Service 03
Hospitality & Restaurant Interiors
Hospitality furniture lives a hard life — thousands of seatings, spills and moves a year. We design complete concepts and build them to take it: dining sets, banquettes, counters, joinery, ceilings and finishes as one contract with one accountable team. Karry Kingdom Restaurant came to us for construction, furniture and interior design together; that is the model.
Includes
- concept design
- dining furniture at volume
- counters & service joinery
- wooden ceilings & feature walls
- phased installation around opening dates

Service 04
Healthcare & Institutional Spaces
Calm is clinical equipment. For clinics and institutions we specify surfaces that clean easily, joinery without dust traps, and durable furniture that keeps a space feeling ordered under pressure. Beiza Clinic was constructed and partitioned by NDB — healthcare tolerances are part of our workshop's vocabulary.
Includes
- clinical partitioning
- reception & waiting areas
- institutional furniture
- durable, hygienic finishes

Service 05
Kitchens, Cabinetry & Architectural Joinery
The most-used room in the house deserves the most exacting millimetres. Custom kitchens, built-in wardrobes and tailored storage, measured to your walls — not the other way round. Beyond cabinetry, our joiners produce solid wood and MDF doors, stair handrails, wooden ceilings and architectural details that carpenters two generations from now would respect.
Includes
- custom kitchens
- built-in wardrobes & storage walls
- interior & exterior doors
- stair handrails & balustrades
- wooden ceilings
- site joinery for construction projects

Bespoke Furniture Manufacturing
This is where NDB began. Sofas, dining sets, bedroom suites, office desks and storage systems — designed in-house or built from your architect's drawings, as a single commission or a 200-set contract. Kiln-considered timber, in-house upholstery, three inspection gates, and a written 6-month material & workmanship warranty on typical items.
Includes
- sofas & sectionals
- dining sets
- beds & bedroom suites
- office furniture
- occasional pieces (consoles, nesting tables, accent chairs)
- re-upholstery

Service 07
After-Sales & Care
We maintain what we make. Warranty service, repairs, spare parts, re-upholstery and refinishing — because “Built to Last” is a promise with a phone number attached.
Includes
- warranty service
- repairs & spare parts
- re-upholstery
- refinishing

Chapter — From Sketch to Installed
Five steps. One accountable team.
- 1.
Consult
We visit the space, listen, and measure both the room and the life inside it. No charge, no obligation.
- 2.
Design
Concept boards, material palettes and workshop drawings. You approve every line before a single board is cut.
- 3.
Prototype & Make
Your project enters our Gasabo workshop, not an anonymous supply chain. Pre-production and in-process inspections run throughout.
- 4.
Install
Our own delivery and installation teams — the same company that built it places it, levels it and finishes it on site.
- 5.
Care
Final inspection, handover, 6-month warranty, and after-sales support for the years beyond it.
