Making Dungeon Furniture for Real People

Making Dungeon Furniture for Real People

When I started building dungeon furniture, I wanted to create pieces that real people could actually own — not just heavy, expensive furniture meant for professional studios.
Most of my customers live in normal homes, not dungeons, so the furniture needs to be affordable, functional, and easy to store.

The first step in keeping costs down is simple: do everything yourself.
When one person handles the entire process — design, construction, finishing — there’s no need to pay for outsourcing or mass production. It also means every detail is crafted with care.

The second key is the choice of wood.
I use fir (bétula or abete in Italian) because it’s strong yet soft enough to work with hand tools.
It’s durable under pressure, but easy to shape precisely — perfect for restraint furniture.
The elegant look of premium wood like walnut comes later, through staining and waxing.
That finish gives the furniture its warm, professional appearance without the cost of rare hardwoods.

Then there’s the question of space.
Most people can’t keep a full-size bondage frame in the living room — so my designs are all fully demountable.
Each joint uses bolts or threaded inserts, and the holes must align perfectly — a matter of pure precision.
Every part is also numbered, so reassembly is intuitive and quick.
You can take a piece apart in minutes and store it in a closet or under a bed.

The result is furniture that’s strong, stable, and elegant — but also realistic.
You don’t need a castle or a dungeon to own it.
You just need a bit of curiosity, some imagination, and a taste for craftsmanship.

It’s bondage furniture for everyone — designed, built, and finished by one person in Italy.
