helping connect people to library architecture

The function and aesthetics of library interiors have evolved over the years, but libraries’ role as a vital community center is steadfast. Similarly, while our products have evolved, they consistently serve a single purpose – to provide architects, designers, and clients with furnishings for the most inspired and engaging libraries.

surface materials

Beyond wood veener and solids (sourced locally and regionally), we work with a variety of specialty materials including laminates, solid surface, linoleum, decorative metals, and structural steel and aluminum to craft elevated, multi-material furniture pieces.

We complement specialty woodworking and niche material fabrication with in-house finish development, formulation, and application. This allows us to deliver library-wide furniture solutions that harmonize with the overall aesthetic and finish plan.

custom furniture + interior elements

One of a kind furniture becomes part of a library’s architecture; helping connect its intent to the community, while supporting the library’s staff, services, and presence for years to come.

Our woodworking, engineering, and project masters are dedicated to realizing one-of-a-kind furniture created by architects and interior design professionals.
