about us
Craft Minds brings three generations of Lebanese woodworking expertise to London's design landscape. Founded by Gaby Traboulsy as an extension of his family's manufacturing business—established in Beirut in 1992—we create bespoke kitchens, cabinetry, and furniture that honour traditional craftsmanship whilst embracing contemporary design.
Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of both design intent and manufacturing reality. This dual expertise allows us to work seamlessly with architects, interior designers, and discerning homeowners, translating vision into meticulously crafted pieces that elevate interiors across residential and commercial spaces.
Every project begins with consultation and collaboration. Whether designing a primary suite for a London townhouse or custom joinery for a hospitality venue, we invest time in understanding the unique requirements of each space and the people who inhabit it. The result is furniture and cabinetry that feels personal, considered, and built to endure.
Meet THE FOUNDER
GABY TRABOULSY
Gaby established Craft Minds to bridge his dual heritage: five years refining design expertise at London's leading interior practices, and a lifetime immersed in the family manufacturing tradition that began in Beirut over three decades ago.
After completing his master's degree in London, Gaby spent five years working with the city's most respected design studios, developing bespoke solutions for high-end residential and commercial clients. This experience revealed an opportunity—to combine London's design sensibility with Middle Eastern craftsmanship heritage, offering clients access to exceptional quality through a full-service approach.
At Craft Minds, Gaby personally oversees every project from initial concept through to installation, ensuring each piece reflects the precision, quality, and attention to detail that defines the brand. His hands-on involvement throughout the design and manufacturing process means clients work with one point of contact who understands both the creative vision and the technical realities of bringing it to life.
Our values
Heritage & Innovation
We honour traditional woodworking techniques passed down through generations whilst embracing modern manufacturing technology. This balance allows us to achieve the precision and finish expected in today's interiors.
Integrity
Transparency guides every client relationship. We communicate honestly about timelines, processes, and any challenges that arise, building trust through consistent reliability and follow-through.
Longevity
We design and build pieces meant to last decades, not seasons. Quality materials, meticulous joinery, and timeless design principles ensure our work remains relevant and beautiful long after installation.
Collaboration
The best work emerges from genuine partnership. We listen carefully, ask thoughtful questions, and work iteratively with clients and design professionals to refine every detail until it's right.
your vision, our craft
Our manufacturing facilities in Lebanon, established in 1992, represent three generations of woodworking expertise refined across thousands of residential, hospitality, and commercial projects throughout the Middle East and Europe.
The workshop is equipped with advanced CNC and edge-banding machinery from Biesse and Holz-Her, allowing us to achieve the precision and finish quality demanded by London's most discerning interiors. Our skilled craftsmen combine traditional hand-finishing techniques with modern manufacturing technology, ensuring each piece meets exacting standards.
We offer an extensive selection of premium materials and finishes—from European oak and walnut to lacquered surfaces and stone integration. Every choice is guided by what will best serve your project's aesthetic and functional requirements.
