We make your workspace work harder for you
We’re Simon and Robert, we’ve spent the last 15 years helping Irish businesses create offices they’re actually proud of. Whether you’re a ten-person team outgrowing a tired space or a growing company planning your next big move, we’ll take care of everything from the first sketch to the final chair.
No confusing jargon, no boring drama, just a straightforward service that delivers brilliant results on time and on budget. We’ve worked with hundreds of businesses across Ireland, from small startups to well-known names in the public and private sectors. Most of them come back to us again and again, which tells you everything you need to know.

Design, fit-out & furniture
How we work
We’re a small team, so every client gets our full attention. Here’s what you can expect from us.
You come first
We listen before we suggest anything. Your budget, your timeline, your vision — we build everything around what works for you.
We do what we say
If we say it'll be done by Thursday, it'll be done by Thursday. We know how disruptive a fit-out can be, and we don't mess people around.
The details matter
We sweat the small stuff — because the small stuff is what separates a good office from a great one. You'll notice the difference.
Always improving
We stay on top of the latest trends and materials so we can always offer you something better than what came before.
Meet Simon & Robert
When you work with Chawner & Trench, you work directly with us, not a salesperson or a project coordinator you’ve never met. We’re hands-on from day one, and we genuinely care how your project turns out.
