About us

Designed by us. Built by you.

Designer outdoor furniture shouldn’t cost thousands, or take a workshop to build. We design pieces anyone can build with basic tools, so your first build looks like it came from a showroom, and you get to say: I made that.

The problem

Beautiful furniture, or affordable furniture. Pick one.

The outdoor pieces in design catalogs cost thousands. The DIY plans online look like it: chunky, dated, and written for people who already own a workshop. We thought there should be a third option.

Our answer

Design first. Then make it simple.

Every piece starts as a design we’d be proud to see on a resort deck. Then we re-engineer it until a first-timer can build it: straight cuts, screws, standard 8-foot boards and one trip to Home Depot. If a step is hard, we change the design, not the instructions.

What we promise

  • No guessworkEvery board lettered, every screw placed and checked in 3D.
