Custom Made in Chicago
Born and raised in Chicagoland, I pride myself on making some of the best live edge furniture in the city. With an engineering background, my pieces are not only unique in appearance, but also solid and steady.

Source Local, Build Local, Shop Local
Nearly all components in my furniture are sourced from Illinois and the Midwest. I prefer to work with woods native to the area and use clear finishing to reveal the wood’s natural beauty. Many of my metal bases are architectural salvage or repurposed.
