A studio built on paying attention

We believe the best rooms come from noticing small things: where the light falls at 8am, which chair everyone fights over, where the keys end up.

Casement was founded in 2012 by a theatre set designer and a fourth-generation furniture maker. Sixteen of us now work from a 1906 showroom on Monroe Avenue.

Rooms that breathe, built to last

Natural materials, honest joinery and plenty of light. Everything we make is meant to look better in twenty years.

From a quiet morning to a finished room

Most single rooms take about ten weeks, and you always know what comes next and what it will cost.
