About C&V Designs
Chase and Valerie are a husband-and-wife team that run a design studio focused on thoughtful design, careful making, and natural materials.
We create furniture, tools, and home goods through a collaborative design process—shaped by how an object will be used, where it will live, and the people it’s made for.
Our work often begins with conversation and observation, then takes form in the shop. We’re drawn to simple structures, honest construction, and materials that reveal their character through making. Each piece is designed with intention, balancing function, proportion, and quiet detail.
On our small farm, we mill our own wood from naturally fallen trees, giving the material a deliberate second life. Milling requires patience. Long before a piece is made, the wood is allowed to dry and settle, slowly revealing its nature. By the time we begin working with it, familiarity has already formed. Each project becomes a collaboration between hand, material, and time.
We value the inherent irregularities in natural materials that emerge through making—the variations, marks, and moments that reveal an object’s intention. These elements are never treated as flaws. Instead, we make careful decisions about whether to stabilize, emphasize, or leave them untouched. The result is work that balances refinement with honesty, allowing both the material and the space it inhabits to guide the final form.
