Where do you find your inspiration?

There are so many amazing furniture makers displaying their work on social media. Fernweh Woodworking, Keith Johnson Woodworking, Ramon Valdez, Philip Morley are some I have followed for years. How the Japanese have engineered joints to be super strong and long lasting without glue or metal fasteners is impressive. Also how can you go wrong with Danish furniture design?

Do you work with interior designers?

I always enjoy collaborating with other professionals such as interior designers. We look forward to helping you and working with other industry professionals and trades to get your project done to your satisfaction.

What are the advantages of ordering custom furniture vs. retail?

There are a number of advantages when ordering custom furniture. Firstly, retail stores as of late have been experiencing longer than usual restocking of popular items, sometimes having to wait for months. Marka Furniture Co. makes all their furniture by hand in Vancouver, BC. Custom furniture offers an experience to have a hand in creating the ideal piece that reflects who you are. Everyone has a different way of living and using their space, why not have a piece of furniture built to your exact specifications?
