Meet our makers

A family shop in Ohio Amish Country that started with reclaimed oak pulled out of barns past saving, and is the reason a few pieces on our floor look like nothing else standing near them.

A shop in LaGrange County that has built almost nothing but chairs since 1995 — which is the right amount of attention to give the hardest ordinary thing in a house.

Poly lumber milled from recycled milk jugs, worked with the techniques of a traditional wood shop, and warranted for a lifetime.

Italian leather upholstery since 1959, from a company that still runs its own tannery. The one maker on our floor that is not within a day’s drive of Amish country.

A network of more than 180 Ohio builders, finish shops and haulers, and the reason a piece from a six-person workshop in Holmes County can arrive in a West Ashley dining room with nothing lost on the way.

Made-to-order upholstery out of Salem, Virginia since 1946. Classic shapes, and a covering chosen by the person who has to live with it.

The upholstered half of a Lowcountry living room, built in Berne, Indiana since 1926 — hardwood maple frames, steel coil springs, and a cover you pick yourself.

A builder with no website and no story page. You know them by the collections and by the shops that carry them — which is how most of this trade actually works.

A family company in the Blue Ridge foothills making the lamps, mirrors and accessories that finish a room. The last thing you choose, and the thing you notice first.
