CUSTOM FURNITURE
CUSTOM FURNITURE - DENVER, CO
​Since 2007, Where Wood Meets Steel has designed and built custom wood and steel furniture for homeowners, interior designers, architects, and commercial clients across Colorado and beyond. Our work is in homes, restaurants, boutiques, offices, museums and airports — each piece built to order, built to last, and built right here in Denver.
​
What sets us apart is what's under one roof: our own sawmills and kiln-dried wood slab inventory, a full metal fabrication shop, and a wood shop staffed by experienced craftspeople. That means fewer handoffs, tighter quality control, and more creative flexibility for your project.
OUR PROCESS
FURNITURE DESIGN
Every custom furniture project starts with a conversation. We listen to how you use your space, what materials speak to you, and what you want the piece to do — functionally and aesthetically. From there, we develop design options and renderings, refining them with your feedback until you're happy with the design. ​You're also welcome to visit our Denver showroom and wood inventory to select your own slabs. Choosing your material in person — seeing the grain, the figure, the live edge — makes the piece yours from the very beginning.
FABRICATION
With our sawmills, kiln, wood selection, and metal fabrication all on site in Denver, we control every stage of the build resulting in fewer outsourced components. When your project does call for upholstery, glass, stone, or specialty hardware, we work with a trusted group of local artisans and suppliers we've built relationships with over many years.
THE DETAILS
The pieces we build are meant to last a lifetime. We pay close attention to the things most furniture makers overlook: grain matching, wood movement, joinery, structural integrity, and how a piece will age. These aren't afterthoughts. They're the difference between a piece that looks great at delivery and one that still looks great in twenty years.
FINISH
We use professional-grade finishes that protect the wood without masking it. Our finishes let the wood stay tactile while enhancing the grain — you can feel the texture and the character of the material. We match the finish to the species, the use, and the look you're after.​ While most of our finishes are clear, allowing the natural wood grain to show through, we can also provide stain samples and stain matching.
Residential clients come to us for dining tables, kitchen countertops, live edge slabs, vanities, shelving, barn doors, and interior architectural details.
Commercial clients — restaurants, retailers, hotels, and office spaces — commission us for bars, host stands, conference tables, reception counters, fixtures, and desks.
We work in walnut, ash, elm, oak, maple, and dozens of other local and domestic species. No two pieces are alike, and that's exactly the point.
Working with Designers and Builders
A significant portion of our work comes through Colorado's design and build community. We've collaborated with interior designers, custom home builders, architects, and general contractors on projects ranging from a single statement piece to full commercial buildouts. We're comfortable working from a complete set of drawings or helping develop a design from scratch.
