Together we will design a piece of furniture that is specific to your needs, to the space it will reside, and will go with the rest of your furniture. Your new piece of furniture will be locally made from real wood and it will not be 1 of a batch of 1000 units.
It will be signed and dated by our craftsmen. This will be your very own piece of art.
Our Services
Whether you are starting with a specific need, from just an idea, or you have an existing piece of furniture that needs some attention, we can help you with any of these situations.
We can start with a photograph or drawing you bring in and build a piece of furniture that matches exactly the style, color, and type of wood you need to fill that specific space in your home or office.
Instead of starting from the ground up, we start with your existing furniture and resize, reshape, or redo it to make it work better for you current situation.
Refinishing/Repair
Maybe it's time for that family piece of furniture to get a good cleaning and some TLC. Or maybe the antique chair needs a 50 year tune-up to reglue the joints that have gotten wobbly. We can do that too! .
“I had the privilege of working with Craig Mann at Paradigm Furniture Design. Craig built a beautiful custom easel. He took the time to understand how the easel would be used and the unique features that would make it truly useful. He developed drawings to work through some of the technical issues that needed to be optimized. His pricing was reasonable for the quality work he delivered. The result is a beautiful easel that I expect to have all of my life. Craig is both an artist and a craftsman and it was a pleasure to work with him.”
Recently, Craig took our ideas for a prairie-style desk inspired by furniture from Frank Lloyd Wright’s home in Oak Park, IL and created a beautiful piece of classically styled functional art. From mortise and tenon joinery to the precision cut and matched box joints we are very pleased with the craftsmanship his work exemplifies. Working to blend pommelle grained sapele, figured bubinga and curly eastern maple into our large library desk was a difficult task well engineered and we have gotten many compliments since its completion. Craig combines attention to detail, a creative thought process and excellent follow-up as hallmarks of the work he has accomplished for us thus far."
" The custom furniture added a simple elegance to the bedroom. We have many visiting guests and we continually receive comments on the beauty of the furniture. I’m sure that the pieces will become heirlooms for our children and their children."
