Functional Art, Built for Your Space
Custom projects are our specialty.
Some begin with architectural plans or detailed drawings. Others start with a photograph, a material, a rough sketch or nothing more than an idea.
We enjoy the challenge of taking those ideas and developing them into functional pieces that combine craftsmanship, engineering and artistic design.
Because every piece is custom fabricated, we aren't limited by standard sizes, predetermined materials or catalog designs. Proportions, materials, finishes and details can all be developed around the architecture and character of the space.

One-of-a-Kind Functional Pieces
Metal + Wood + Glass + More
Some of the most interesting furnishings come from combining materials.
We work with mild steel, stainless steel, copper, brass and bronze and can incorporate wood, glass, resin and integrated LED lighting into our designs.
These combinations allow us to create pieces with warmth, contrast, texture and depth while using metal to provide structure, detail and character.
Whether the goal is industrial, contemporary, rustic, refined or something that doesn't fit neatly into a particular style, the materials can be selected and finished to complement the surrounding architecture.
Designed Around You
There is a significant difference between buying furniture and commissioning it.
A commissioned piece can be designed around a specific room, dimension, architectural detail, material or purpose. It can solve a problem that standard furniture cannot—or become the focal point of an entire space.
We can work from your drawings and specifications or collaborate with you to develop the design from the beginning. We also work with architects, interior designers, builders and other professionals to fabricate pieces as part of larger residential and commercial projects.
Custom Finishes & Patinas
Finishing is an important part of what makes our furnishings unique.
Our experience with coatings, chemistry and metal finishing allows us to develop custom patinas, painted finishes, polished surfaces and specialty treatments in-house. Powder coating is also available when a highly durable finish is appropriate.
Controlling these processes gives us greater creative flexibility while helping maintain the quality and design intent of a piece from fabrication through final finishing.
Built to Be Used. Designed to Be Remembered.
The best custom furnishings balance appearance with function.
A table needs to be beautiful, but it also needs to feel substantial and perform as a table. A countertop needs visual impact while standing up to everyday use. A wine rack, fireplace feature or custom cabinet needs to work within the architecture rather than simply being added to it.
Our fabrication background allows us to approach each piece from both perspectives—how it should look and how it needs to perform.
The result is furniture and furnishings that are distinctive, functional and made to last.
