our philosophy >

Life is short. Live simply—a table, a few chairs, a bed—the essentials. And make sure you love them, want to take care of them, and that you love to tell others about where it came from; why you decided it was right for you. Our furniture and cabinetry aim to evoke warmth, create comfort in your home and give you some peace. When the morning sun hits the swirling grain of the wood in one of our pieces in just the right way, you’ll see a different angle, a shape, a curve you hadn’t noticed before. It’s old world craftsmanship in modern times, using only the finest joinery, built to last for generations.

how it works >

Our woodworking services include custom designed furniture, custom modern and traditional cabinetry, wood finishing and refinishing. We are experts in sourcing reclaimed and sustainable materials.

We work with general contractors, architects, interior designers and individuals. A job is estimated, based on size, materials and your specifications, so prices and timelines vary. We primarily work in Los Angeles, but we have sucessfully shipped furniture and cabinets across both California and the United States. Call us or request an estimate via email.

a note on "custom" >

Custom cabinetry is not bound by prescribed, modular sizes or catalogs like a large company. We source, design and build to your specifications and offer superior quality. We can customize the sizes of furniture you see on our website or design pieces for you that are not yet represented in our existing work.

For us, custom does not mean we copy other designers work or that we work in any genre. Take a look at the pieces on our site to see if our materials and styles fit with what you are looking for.

environment >

A business is only as sustainable as it affects the environment. We coach our clients in making eco-savvy choices for their health and to support of the future of our global environment.

In addition to walnut, cherry, and maple—woods well-known to fine woodworking—we have comprehensive experience with non-traditional species, like mesquite, elm, pacific coast maple, eucalyptus and sycamore. We search out reclaimed lumber, backyard trees, and lesser known hardwoods, many of which are fast-growing and have positive ecological benefits.

We use natural oil, low-VOC and water-bases finishes.
