How to Work with Us

Process

It’s true that we’re deadly serious about craft. But we’re also fun to work with! Every creation is a collaboration between our artisans and our clients. We bring our expertise, experience and whimsy to you. You bring us your heirlooms, your artwork, your dreams. Partnership can be a beautiful thing.

Initial Consultations

Don’t get up! We’ll come to you (online or in person!) While we often meet for the first time during a complimentary 20 minute discovery call via Zoom, a paid consultation at your home or workspace is a moment to let our imagination roam. While we’re conjuring visions of your space, we’ll also get to work understanding your project scope, budget and timeline. Your style and budget will guide the work. Some clients prefer a next step of visiting our showroom, while others jump right into an in-home consultation. The choice is yours!

Meet with Joona

Would you like to help? Please fill out an intake form to jump start our information gathering process. This will help us craft your initial proposal. Once you have approved the estimated scope of work with a range of costs we can move on to the really fun part - designing and creating your one-of-a kind piece of functional art!

Planning & Design

Do you remember that first-day-of-school smell of pencil shavings and crayons? That’s how excited we get when it’s time to take measurements, pick out textiles and hardware and put all of our ideas into a detailed project proposal for your approval. When you see what we come up with, we’re pretty sure you’re going to be very excited, too! (If you’re extremely excited, we may also create hand-drawn or computer-generated renderings and fabricate one or more samples at this time.) Once you’ve approved your project and paid the initial installments, we will develop an outline for fabrication and order all components. Let the fun begin!

Fabrication

You won’t be surprised to learn that we create nearly all of our curtains, soft furnishings and upholstery by hand in our Oakland studio. Our commitment to every stitch demands it! And we wouldn’t have it any other way. For hard window treatments and the wood and metal elements of our creations, we pair exclusively with trusted partners whose workmanship meets our exacting specifications.

Installation

Did you know that installation, too, is an art? The perfect creation demands precise and perfect handling to ensure the desired effect. Our skilled and trusted installation partners make sure that your curtains, soft shades or hard treatments - whether motorized or manually operated - are hung perfectly. White glove installation and delivery are a part of every project we design.*

*We provide referrals to delivery services when your furniture needs to be moved between your home and our studio or can arrange the pickup and delivery for an additional administrative fee above and beyond our partners’ delivery fees.
