Every piece starts with a team, not a machine.

Frames get built by hand. Wood gets finished by hand. Leather gets pulled and stretched by hand. Every step in this shop involves someone paying close attention to the work in front of them.

That's what craftsmanship looks like in Columbus.

The work does not stop. Neither does the standard.

Every piece that leaves our shop goes through the same hands, the same process, and the same level of care it always has. From the wood shop to the sewing room to the upholstery floor, the people in this shop take what they build seriously.

That is what nearly a century of craft looks like in practice.

Swipe to see this custom banquette install.

Built for a college campus dining space here in Columbus. A bold geometric print on the back, paired with a charcoal seat for daily wear.

Frame construction is solid start to finish. That's what keeps the shape intact through years of heavy student traffic.

Style points on move-in day. Extra credit for still looking this good by graduation.

The process behind perfection.

Every frame starts the same way. Precision cut and shaped on our CNC.

Same specs. Same precision. Every time.

That consistency is what lets us build at scale without cutting corners. One piece or five hundred, each one leaves the shop the same way.

Built in Columbus. Built to last.

The shape does the talking on this one.

A curved banquette upholstered in blush pink ribbed velvet. The organic form flows from one end to the other with no hard edges, just a clean continuous line from the back down through the fully upholstered base.

Getting the ribbed fabric to follow a shape like this without breaking or pulling takes precision at every step. The result is a piece that looks effortless and holds up through years of real use.

Lounge seating should feel as good as it looks and be built to handle years of real use.

Trending style from the Fortner collection.

Meet the Louis Lounge Chair. A solid wood frame with clean architectural lines, built for strength and lasting durability. Upholstered in a warm terracotta performance fabric that holds up in high-traffic commercial environments without losing its look.

The kind of piece that works as hard as it looks.
