Design

Attention to detail at the beginning of a project means a smoother build and a less disruptive install. Discussing the details is also how we get to know each other. How you plan to use your space and who it is shared with, what functional elements and appliances will be integrated as 
well as your preferred finishes and hardware all paint a picture of what your space will look like when completed.
We use an auto-CAD driven cabinet design software to create a detailed 3D rendering of your furniture or space and will refine the drawing over the course of several site visits and Zoom meetings until it is perfect. When the design process is complete, we send the drawings to our Frenchtown workshop where each of our projects is built by hand. Because we craft our furniture to your exact specifications, every part of your project is built to order and is truly bespoke.

Joinery

Our face frames, drawer fronts and doors are all made by hand using traditional joinery techniques. We exclusively use hand selected sugar maple for our painted cabinetry for its superior hardness and stability. Doors are built using a traditional 5-piece method and are set into hardwood frames with Blum soft-close hinges.

Boxes

All of our cabinet and furniture boxes are made of FSC-certified plywood in oak, maple or walnut veneer. Every hinge location, shelf pin hole and assembly screw pre-drill is transferred directly from your design drawing to our in-house CNC where it is cut to an accuracy of .005 of an inch.

Drawers

Our drawer boxes are made of solid maple, oak or walnut and have traditional dovetail jointing front and back ensuring maximum stability. Each drawer is fitted with Blum soft-close runners to ensure that it closes smoothly and silently every time.

Finishes

All of our cabinetry and furniture is finished by hand in our Frenchtown workshop. Painted finishes are applied in water based and low VOC acrylic urethane tinted to match your preferred Farrow & Ball or Benjamin Moore paint color.
