University of Washington Campus / Center Table

In 2018 Chadhaus had the pleasure of collaborating with the talented folks at Graham Baba Architects on a collection of pieces for Willow Hall, a new residence and dining facility on University of Washington's North Campus.

Graham Baba specified Chadhaus furniture for several components in the project, including a variation of our Farmhouse Modern Island for the central dining area and Pagliacci Pizza within the space. For the building's entry and lounge area, we fabricated a simple piece we dubbed the Plane Bench - made from solid wood with a concealed steel support that allowed the piece to be slim and light in feel.

Chad and Emily enjoyed working on this project, being as they met while studying in the UW Architecture department in 2003. Customizing our designs to meet the aesthetic and functional needs of this new space on the UW campus was a great project for Chadhaus, and we're honored to think of our furniture enhancing student life for that community.

Our thanks to photographer Anna Redmond, who photographed our pieces in the space. ...More

Custom Projects on Instagram

We're busy here at Chadhaus! In fact, we're so busy designing and making furniture that we don't always get around to posting current content on website. We do however try to stay current with our Instagram Feed - which features both products from our line as well as custom work. Please also feel free to get in touch with us directly regarding commissioning custom work. We'd be happy to walk you through our process. Thank you!

A Heavy Collaboration With Olson Kundig

This collaboration with Olson Kundig Architects weighed nearly a ton! The project included two coordinating pieces - a 16 foot long dining table made from a single slab of walnut, and solid wood coffee table floating on steel fins. Designs by Olson Kundig with construction and detailing by us. We hope they enjoy their new home!

Artefact Custom Furniture

We recently had the pleasure of designing custom office furniture for Artefact, a local design company that has earned a reputation for "delivering keen insights, effective execution and world-class design." Artefact was named a Best Company to Work For by Seattle Business Magazine’s 100 Best Companies to Work For in 2014. And it's no wonder - these folks are thoughtful, smart, fun to work with, and they have an amazing new office space. The tables and benches we made for them are a nice touch, too! We loved the final product so much that we'll be adding these items to our store soon!

Custom Furniture for Tactile

Tactile is a local product and interaction design firm that we’ve had the opportunity to work with on multiple custom pieces. With our similar focus on helping clients “achieve the optimal mix of beauty and functionality” we knew we were getting ourselves into something special. The first project was birthed from a beam the clients had in possession, which was then repurposed into a custom standup bar. This unique focal point functions as both a social spot as well as a place for creative meetings. The bar features a nook for paper and pens that is integrated into the base, creating maximal workspace that is sleek and orderly. The final design used heavy gauge welded and bent plate steel, with the beam coming apart into two pieces so that it could make it to the fourth floor of the building. Finishes were whitewashed fir and black steel. Next was a custom wall shelf to be installed near the standup bar. This elegant shelf was designed to create a floating frame around the wooden components, offering multiple surfaces for display or storage. The final design consisted of a black steel frame with rounded corners and three salvaged whitewashed fir panels, two protruding from the wall, creating a wide bracket shape that defies its steel borders. Last but not least, our most recent ...More

Olson Kundig Architects / Gethsemane Lutheran Church

Chadhaus collaborated on custom furniture with a talented design team at Olson Kundig Architects lead by Jim Olson and including Bob Jakubik and Christine Burkland. Working from Jim's original sketches, we collaborated on the design of unique pieces to serve as the altar, chapel table, ambo, and harvest tables for Gethsemane Lutheran Church. In addition to these divine pieces, we customized coffee and side tables from our ferro line to serve various practical needs of the main sanctuary and chapel spaces, including tables of all heights, tables with steel shelves, and rolling tables with casters.   All interior photos shown of Gethsemane by Benjamin Benschneider
