ABOUT VADIM


Vadim Capatina was raised in the heart of Dublin City, he studied art for five years before training with a top German designer kitchen company. In 2008, keen to combine his passions for design and traditional craftsmanship, he founded Capatina Bespoke Furniture. 


Vadim has worked for many years with many of Ireland’s most prestigious interior designers and has a wealth of experience working on high-end homes and stylish commercial projects including Druids Glen Resort in Wicklow, Mount Juliet Hotel in Kilkenny, and The Portmarnock Hotel and Golf Links in Dublin. 


Vadim is known for flexible, intelligent design solutions that future-proof a home. His innovative and practical ideas allow a space to grow with you, while never compromising on elegance. 


Vadim is married to Christina and together they have two young daughters and a Pomeranian dog called Simba.  They live in the village of Stepaside, at the foot of the Dublin Mountains.  He says, “I am inspired by Ireland, by its beauty and culture. Home and family are everything to us, we know how important it is to have a home you are proud of. A place where friends and family are welcome and at ease. With little children around, all of our socialising happens at home. 


For me, Capatina means style, functionality and workmanship that will stand the test of time. 


“Together, we can create space you didn’t know you had”.

5/5
VERY HAPPY TO ENDORSE
I’ve worked with Vadim on a number of projects and have no hesitation in recommending him. His meticulous attention to detail and quality of finish is second to none. His work comes in on time and to the agreed budget. He is very professional and competitive, and always leaves a tidy site behind him!

Attention to detail, on time delivery and quality of work are second to none
Vadim Capatina has done superb work in our home. He is a true professional and has been a pleasure to deal with at all times. Vadim’s attention to detail, on time delivery and quality of work are second to none.

He designed a beautiful built in bedroom for our youngest daughter and a wall mounted trophy stand in the shape of a tennis ball for our tennis players room. Our daughters’ bedrooms have been well equipped with desks and clever storage solutions.

I would highly recommend Vadim and his team. He is outstanding at what he does. We are blessed to have his wonderful workmanship in our home.

THE BEST DECISION WE COULD HAVE MADE
We first met Vadim by chance two years ago when we had just started a major renovation and having worked with him since then, we could not recommend him enough. We initially gave him a few small projects and the quality of his work proved to be exceptional. Around this time we visited a number of the high-end furniture designers in the Leinster region, but decided to give all our work to Vadim – this included our kitchen, office, pantry, utility room, built-in wardrobes and various stand-alone alcove units – it was the best decision we could have made!

His ability to be imaginative and to work with us was a major factor, while his attention to detail was exceptional and we are very happy to endorse him.

Capatina listens to you

Listening to our clients and providing creative solutions is at the core of what we do. Whether you are an interior designer, architect or private client, we work with your ideas and your budget to help you deliver your personal vision. No matter how large or small your commission, from a single alcove display unit, to cupboards, wardrobes, a dressing room, boot or utility room, a beautiful bathroom or entirely remodeling your home, Capatina’s friendly team will make the design journey as seamless and collaborative as possible, from our first meeting to expert fitting.

Why not call or email us to discuss your requirements?

It is often possible to give an initial estimate over the phone.

1. THE SURVEY VISIT

When you commission a piece of furniture from us, we strive to create a design, tailor made to your exact requirements.  If there are architectural drawings, plans from an interior designer or images from magazines or the internet, these can all be forwarded for consideration after your initial phone or email contact and prior to the survey visit.Vadim will agree a time to call out to survey the space and consider your concept in terms of proportion, architectural and technical considerations.  Vadim will discuss your specification while showing you examples of previous relevant projects, elements (such as mouldings, fretwork, finishes etc) to help inspire and assist with visualising your choice of design.

Vadim will discuss budget, specifying the costs costs of various optional elements such as integrated lighting, drawers etc. in order to inform your decisions and ensure your budget can be agreed.


 

2. THE PROPOSAL – TAILOR MADE FOR YOU

Following The Survey Visit, Vadim creates a concept design to meet your specific requirements. Technical drawings are prepared to help visualise the furniture, its’ proportion in relation to surrounding architectural items such as windows/doorways, ceilings etc. and including individual design details, specified by you. A budgetary estimate is created and will include optional elements such as finishes, drawers etc to support your decisions.


 

3. PRESENTATION – YOUR CUSTOM MADE FURNITURE DESIGN

A meeting is arranged at our workshop in Walkinstown, allowing you to meet our team, pet Simba, observe some of our work in progress and allow us to go through the features of the new design with you. This meeting gives you the opportunity to develop the design and customise the proposal until you are happy with the overall design and budget. All amendments are noted.


 

4. COMMISSIONING – THE PROJECT

If required, we work closely with your architect, interior designer or contractor to ensure our workshop drawings and construction schedule accommodate any other building work as appropriate. A booking deposit of 50% is placed to secure final drawings and design, and a date and time to commence the project and fit the furniture negotiated.


 

5. CREATING YOUR FURNITURE – THE WORK OF THE MASTER CRAFTSMAN

Each piece is custom built and is created under the personal supervision of Vadim Capatina at every stage of its manufacture. This process takes approximately two weeks from commencement of a build – but the approximate time from survey visit usually takes about 8 weeks, due to lead times.  You will be kept informed as to the progress of your commission, and we will make every effort to align ourselves with your building works.


 

6. DELIVERY & INSTALLATION

We will arrange for your furniture to be delivered and installed by our skilled installers, co-ordinating with your builders as appropriate. Our team adhere to a strict code of conduct with regard to their conduct on site, showing respect for your home, your belongings, your décor and the work space.  You can be sure that our team will ensure safety, minimising noise levels and cleaning up as they go as top priorities. Prior to leaving the site, Vadim will attend to inspect the installation and to discuss any issues, including how to care for it. At this point, the remaining final balance will be payable.Two weeks following the installation, Vadim will call again, in order to ensure your complete satisfaction with the furniture.
