Since our first meeting in 2017, I have been working collaboratively with Armando Magnino.

I was looking to direct my technical and creative skills in stained glass away from the usual door and window panels, towards more challenging and unusual designs.

In his twenty year career as a woodworker, (including designing, teaching and making bespoke furniture), Armando has often experimented with different materials and approaches but was looking for a new way to add colour and texture to his designs and carefully selected timbers.

As 'Melando' we bring together our passion for good design and fine craftsmanship to create unique pieces that bring vibrant colours and elegant shapes to your home.
