Furniture For Those Who Want Better

Crafting furniture for clients who want better is what we do. For those that understand investing in their home and lifestyle, the first job is to connect with the right maker. Similarly, as a maker, we want to connect with the right clients. Custom furniture is not for everyone. Let’s explore what goes into that connection.

• Not surprisingly, communication is the biggest thing here. The maker’s website or portfolio should show what they make.

• Can you get a sense of their individual style?

• Does it mesh with your style?

• Can they achieve your goals?

The point here is quality connection, communication and follow through with the right shop. If you’re not comfortable at this point don’t move forward.

Next is figuring out how the craftsman works.

• Are you dealing with one person? A team?

• Separate designers and builders?

• What quality of materials do they use?

• What kinds of joinery and finishes?

A discussion with the shop should answer these questions. Do the answers resonate with you?

And then there is the why.

For both client and maker, connecting on why you’re pursuing a custom build piece is the key to a successful partnership. Sometime that’s a harder nut to crack. I write blog posts to help understand why, how and what I build.

An initial question for clients is why they’re interested in going custom. Not what do they want but why do they want it? Why do they want the experience?

When those whys line up great things can result. What you do and why you do it matters.
