Our Custom Furniture Process

How we create and deliver a truly unique piece of furniture

Transparent Process

Commissioning custom furniture should be straightforward and collaborative. Our process guides each project from initial concept through fabrication and delivery, ensuring the final piece is designed specifically for its space and built to last.

Why choose custom furniture?

Not every space can be solved with off-the-shelf furniture. Custom pieces allow you to design around the exact dimensions, materials, and aesthetic your space requires.

Interior designers and homeowners often choose custom furniture when they need precise sizing, unique materials, or a piece that becomes a defining element within a room. Unlike mass-produced furniture, custom work is built intentionally using solid materials, refined craftsmanship, and thoughtful design, allowing the piece to last for decades.

Rather than adapting your space to fit furniture, custom furniture allows the piece to be designed specifically for your space.

How to start?

Every project begins with a conversation.

You can reach out with a rough idea, a finished design, or simply a problem that needs solving. Many clients come with inspiration images, sketches, or detailed drawings for the space.

At this stage we typically discuss:

  • Dimensions and function of the piece
  • Design direction and inspiration
  • Materials and wood species
  • Timeline and budget considerations
  • Delivery location

From there we determine if the project is a good fit and prepare a preliminary estimate to move forward.

Drawings and Finish Samples 

Once the project is approved and the deposit is received, the design phase begins.

We translate the concept into detailed drawings or 3D models to refine proportions, construction methods, and material choices. This stage ensures every element is resolved before fabrication begins.

Depending on the project, this phase may include:

  • Technical shop drawings or 3D models
  • Finish or stain samples
  • Engineering details for complex pieces

This process ensures that both the client and maker have a clear understanding of the final piece before it enters production.

Fabrication and Delivery 

After final approval, fabrication begins in our Barrie, Ontario studio.

Each piece is built using a combination of traditional woodworking techniques and modern machinery to achieve precision and longevity. The process includes milling, joinery, assembly, surface preparation, and finishing.

Once complete, the piece is carefully prepared for delivery.

For projects within Ontario we typically deliver and install the furniture ourselves to ensure it arrives safely and is properly positioned within the space. For projects outside of Ontario, we coordinate trusted white-glove shipping partners to deliver pieces across North America. Of course, we are always willing to travel to the client's home if that is their desire.

Typical lead times are approximately three months, however, timelines may vary depending on project complexity and current workload. 

We believe in a clear and honest process. View our Policies to understand how we handle deposits, lead times, and delivery.
