I’m a one-man operation, not a company. So you always have my full attention and expertise. No shortcuts. No subcontracting. I design and build everything.

I’m also an artist with the right education for designing artisanal furniture: a Master’s degree in Art & Design coupled with a background in engineering.

I do this work because I love it. I love working with wood, and meticulously transforming it into beautiful objects that bring joy to my customers. Wood is so incredibly grounding. It brings us all home.

I also love the collaboration. Together, my customers and I work out every design, which is why they are ultimately so satisfying. Visions transform into elegant, functional, life-enhancing furniture. That process feels good for both the owner and the maker.

My furniture showcases the beauty and character of Ontario’s hardwood trees. I work with local wood suppliers in the London area who are just as passionate about lumber as I am about furniture. Preparing top-quality furniture lumber is an art form unto itself.

All my projects are characterized by local trees, contemporary design, interlocking joinery, and natural finishes that strengthen the wood.

If you’ve always wanted a fine piece of handmade furniture but didn’t know where to start, start by contacting me. No strings attached. We can simply talk about possibilities. There are so many.

Sincerely,

Matthew Trueman
