A full-height plywood shelving unit built into a room, filled with records, books and cassettes, with a window at the right.

Timeless Craftsmanship, Modern Design.

Furniture built for the room it lives in

Every piece is drawn around a real room and a real set of dimensions, then built one at a time. Tell me what you have in mind.

Two boards standing on a bench, one cut through with a rectangular mortise, a wooden mallet and hand-cut shavings beside them.

The approach

Simple things, made properly

Solid stock and visible joinery. What you see is what it is made of.

Three matching low wooden stools standing in a row on a concrete apron outside the open workshop door.

Commissions

Made to your measurements

Nothing on a piece that is not doing a job.

Shop

Small goods, made to order

A short list of pieces that get built regularly. Commissions are the main work here — these are the small things worth keeping in the book.

All pieces

About the shop

A small shop in California

The Grayfox Design is a workshop making custom furniture and small wooden goods to order. One bench, one piece at a time, and no production line waiting for the design to be simplified into something faster to build.
