About Alice Tacheny

Alice Tacheny creates furniture that embodies the concept of modern craft. We design and make individually crafted pieces of modern furniture that are defined by expressive joinery, domestic hardwoods, and hand-rubbed oil and wax finishes. We are committed to the creation of furniture pieces that are a new kind of heirloom: lasting, authentic, graceful, and modern.
All of our furniture is produced by a handful of small shops and experienced craftspeople who make each piece to order.  We use domestic hardwoods that are responsibly harvested whenever possible, and all of our finishes are hand-applied using natural oil and wax, which have a low environmental impact. Each piece is intended to last a lifetime.
Alice’s discipline is influenced both by a lifelong love of craft and a deep connection to the objects she designs and creates. Her inspiration derives from experimentation with raw materials and converging forms, and results in designs that embody simplicity and an understated grace. She strives to create pieces with meaning and purpose and to integrate these honest values into her work.
