Philosophy

For the joy and pleasure of making something beautiful.

Our ETHOS

At Kerr Woodworking we aim to bring balance to the world around us - in business and life - with handcrafted, consciously-made, timeless pieces.

 
 

Rooted in our connection to the natural world

Our handmade home goods create a natural connection to its source. Each piece is as unique as the tree it came from. The wood grain guides our process and design, resulting in refined elegant pieces. Off-cuts from larger projects go towards creating our home goods, eliminating waste and improving efforts towards sustainability. We abstain from toxic finishes, allowing each piece to live a natural and organic life.

Designed and built to last a lifetime

Each piece Kerr produces has been crafted with Bryan’s hands. His extreme precision and keen attention to detail make his work of heirloom quality. Our design style is modern but timeless, with an emphasis on structural soundness, our pieces are built to last a lifetime.

For the joy and pleasure of making something beautiful

We believe it takes real time, true presence, and dedication to create something meaningful. We pursue our craft with purpose – honoring the process, the presence, and the unique properties of the source materials for each piece created.

Staying small and serving without pretense

Carefully crafting a high-caliber product and seamless client experience are the core foundations of our commitment to service. We stay thoughtful in custom work and only commit to projects that can benefit from our unique skills and abilities. You can count on a recommendation to a ‘better fit’ maker if your desired vision falls outside the wheelhouse of our work.

Fostering community and growing with intention

Investing in our local creative community gives our work additional purpose. We value the makers around us, and creators in general. We use our business as a vehicle to invest in our creative economy. Collaboration with other makers allows us to replenish our creative well, beginning each piece with a renewed love for the process.

Embracing the SLOW Movement

Sustainable, Local, Organic, Whole. Our furniture reflects this slow living ethos. Each piece is handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, built to last with timeless designs and strong structures. We prioritize emotional and community sustainability, while focusing on creating beautiful, natural pieces with intention and quality. Investing in well-made furniture brings lasting joy, fosters a connection to your space, and supports our local creative community. It’s about fewer pieces, each one exceptional, designed to bring harmony and peace into your life for generations to come.
