                    We believe in the therapeutic power of really good furniture. Each piece is handmade to align with our vision of a world with fewer, truer objects.

WHO WE ARE

For 39 years, we've designed and built solid, simple furniture that upgrades your environment and makes the everyday a joy. Our commitment remains the same: painstaking wood selection, the strongest hardware available anywhere, and a perfect oil finish. A significant portion of our orders come from returning clients, and it is an honor to be part of your family's story.

Team

        In 1985, we started with five. Today, we still strive for lasting art, objects, and structures that reflect our clients' unique perspectives of the world.
