Our Story
We are a husband and wife design team based in Great Barrington, MA. Sharing a love of the arts, design and a desire to establish a custom furniture company we relocated from our childhood home in Brooklyn, NY to the Berkshires in 2004. After many years of focusing solely on furniture making we were inspired to create a collection of functional and unique wooden homewares to complement our furniture designs.
Working side by side in our studio, using a well seasoned artistic eye, we create innovative, versatile furniture and functional homewares that add character & beauty to any home.
Our homewares collection features one of a kind heirloom quality cheese & cutting boards, serving trays and utensils. Our signature boards are often lauded for their live edge, organic beauty and non-toxic finishes. We handcraft all of our designs using locally sourced wood and reclaimed materials. Each piece of raw wood is hand-selected by us then meticulously sanded, shaped and finished with our non-toxic board oil. The design of our cheese and cutting board collection is inspired by the shape of an artist's palette and is lightweight for serving and presentation. Our one of a kind serving trays feature handles crafted from authentic railroad spikes salvaged from the woods surrounding our home.
Our tabletop collection features decorative homewares including live edge flower vases and candleholders, utensil crocks, keepsake boxes & kitchen accessories. The designs of our tabletop collection are guided by the organic nature of the materials and the desire to add a touch of beauty to any home.
Proudly serving the Berkshires, surrounding areas and New York City since 2004.
