Think of us as alchemists whose medium is wood

WELCOME TO A RETURN TO CRAFTSMANSHIP, QUALITY AND VISION
At grey wrk, we are reviving the artistry and detail that was once commonplace in homes and home furnishings. We appropriate traditional woodcrafting techniques and artisan skills that were neglected when modern, mass production became the norm.
Built with intention, vision and a commitment to enduring beauty that inspires. Ours is a process that embraces an understanding of the space, the people and the lifestyle of each client—allowing us to transform natural materials into something that perfectly embraces you and the way you live.
We work using mindfully sourced materials, designed to bring out the essence of the wood so we can create iconic pieces designed with your vision in mind.
Our Process
Our process is a bit more organic than you might expect. This is purposeful as it allows us the flexibility to explore the specific demands of your project and tailor the process in a way that makes the most sense.
WE BEGIN WITH UNDERSTANDING.
This is more than just asking a couple of questions about what you want. We want to get to know you; explore the space; develop a sense of what inspires your life. This guides our exploration of materials and the generation of rough ideas. We don’t move forward until you feel comfortable with our appreciation of your needs and vision.
UNDERSTANDING CREATES CONNECTION.
The insight we glean into your project allows us to build a quote, formulate a timeline and start to bring your project to life. If needed, we may include a modeling stage before we launch into full production.
CONNECTION BRINGS YOUR VISION TO LIFE.
Guided by the understanding we’ve developed and your trust in our ability to bring your dream project to life, we return to our workshop and immerse ourselves in our craft. We source the perfect raw materials and shape them with an obsessive attention to detail into a truly amazing piece built to last that illuminates the elemental beauty of the wood.
As ours is a process formulated around your vision, we’d love to schedule a time to sit down with you, discuss what you’re thinking and help you understand the nature of what we do. These few questions will allow us to start our wheels turning and come to that meeting with a little bit of focus.
Every piece has a Story to tell.
Due to the craft nature of what we do, every project and every piece is unique in its own right. Even a set of chairs or matching end tables have subtle grain patterns that evoke a sense of individuality with each one. Keep that in mind as you look through the work we’ve created for other clients. We hope they inspire you as much as they do us.
