Custom furniture designed with you, built in Chicago

Showrooms, influencers, and neighbors all tell you what belongs in your home. We see it differently. You are the one who lives there, who walks past the piece every day and sits down at it every night. Opinions are worth hearing, and we will offer ours, but our job is to help shape your vision, not define it. No one else has to live with the result. You do.

Featured on WGN

A table made from ancient kauri, about 2,000 years old.

Radiocarbon dated by the University of Georgia, this New Zealand kauri was growing about two thousand years ago. We designed around the voids, movement and history already present in the wood. The result is both sculpture and table, a work of functional art meant to be touched, used and gathered around.

Jerry helped us design and bring our entire vision for a custom, one-of-a-kind wine bar to life, creating an end product that is far beyond anything we could have purchased in a store. Beautifully built, perfectly tailored to our space, and of unmistakable quality. We couldn't be happier!

Andrew Gordon

Absolutely love our coffee table. From concept to finished table he was a pro to work with. His craftsmanship, creativity and extreme attention to detail is unparalleled. He even signed it at our request. An heirloom with a story for years to come!

Honor Lorenzini

If you are looking for pieces of art, you have to find the right artist. When it comes to woodwork, Jerry is who you should be looking for. I can't say enough about the quality, craftsmanship and creativity that he puts behind all his pieces. They are in a class of their own.

Adam Penkhus

I interviewed five well known custom builders in various parts of the country and inspected their work products. In the end there was one builder that I felt had the best skills, dedication and commitment to quality. The table came out beautifully and the quality could not have been better. The attention to detail in the construction and finishing was absolutely fantastic.

Kevin Ramon

Jerry was a pleasure to work with, such dedication and professionalism. The table was exactly what we wanted and made in record timing meeting a very tight deadline. THANK YOU THANK YOU :)
