weekly design inspiration: one of a kind

In a world where fast furniture is always just a few clicks away, custom design can feel like a slower, more indulgent route. But when it comes to building a home with longevity, intention, and flow, custom furniture is often the smarter—and more satisfying—investment.

unique spaces

Not every room is created equal. Ceiling height, window placement, traffic flow, and architectural quirks all impact how furniture fits and functions. Custom allows us to design pieces that are thoughtfully tailored to your exact layout—whether it’s a banquette that hugs the curve of a kitchen nook or a console that tucks perfectly under a staircase.

These pieces aren’t just made to measure—they’re made to matter.

collaborative design

Custom furniture means you get to choose everything: materials, finishes, dimensions, even the joinery. We collaborate with skilled local makers and trusted upholsterers who understand the level of detail our clients expect. The result is furniture that’s not only beautiful, but built to last. There’s a visible difference in how a custom piece feels and performs over time.

storied pieces

Custom is personal. Whether it’s incorporating a sentimental fabric, reimagining an heirloom piece, or designing something that simply doesn’t exist yet—custom allows us to tell your story in a way off-the-shelf never could. These are the pieces clients remember, and the ones that often become the most treasured.

There are times when no matter how many showrooms you visit, the perfect piece just doesn’t exist. That’s when custom becomes not just an option—but a necessity. We design with intention from the beginning, so when it comes time to furnish a space, custom often provides the final layer that ties everything together.

Design Tip: When investing in custom furniture, start with one key piece that anchors the room—like a dining table, built-in banquette, or upholstered bed. Let that piece set the tone for the space, then layer in complementary elements around it. A single custom item can elevate the entire design.
