Q. Can IYR customise furniture?

A. IYR can modify certain pieces within its range, but only within the parameters permitted by the mould from which each piece is made. For example, the product called “Module” can be made lower than its standard 430mm or trimmed so that it is less than its usual length of 1200 mm. It cannot, however, have its 460mm (tunnel width) measurement pushed out or in.
