The
Studio.
A millwork and soft furnishings studio. Three generations of craft in New York City. We work with a small number of private clients at any time.
Three Generations in New York.
The family has been working in wood in New York City for three generations. What began as custom cabinetwork and residential fit-out became, across those generations, a practice concentrated on bespoke residential work for private clients.
Each generation narrowed the scope and raised the standard. The second generation moved the primary workshop to Brooklyn and began working directly with architects and interior designers on residential commissions. The current generation formalized that practice as Era Interiors — a name chosen to mark a deliberate turn toward a different way of working.
Furniture repair, custom cabinetwork, and residential fit-out. Work taken wherever it came. The beginning of what would become a residential millwork practice.
The primary workshop established in North Brooklyn. The residential focus sharpened. Work with architects began in earnest. The client base shifted toward the Upper East Side, the West Village, and the buildings along Central Park where residential millwork at this level concentrates.
Era Interiors. The practice formalized. Millwork and soft furnishings under a single studio. Fabrication in North Brooklyn; private clients across the city and region.
Two Workshops in North Brooklyn.
Era maintains two fabrication workshops in North Brooklyn. All millwork is fabricated in New York. We do not subcontract fabrication to shops outside the city or outside our direct supervision.
This is not a virtue claim. It is a practical requirement of the work. The level of precision that bespoke residential millwork demands — the tight inset reveals, the species conditioning, the finishing system — cannot be achieved at a remove. The person who drew the detail needs to be able to walk to the bench where it is being made.
Both workshops are equipped for the full range of residential millwork production: dimensional lumber milling, case construction, frame-and-panel assembly, finishing in a controlled environment, and pre-assembly of complex units before delivery.
The workshops are not open to clients. We bring completed and partially assembled work to the site; clients visit the finished installation. Installation is performed by Era’s own crew. We do not hire installation labor by the job or use subcontractors for on-site work. The craftspeople who built the piece are, where possible, the same people who install it.
Soft furnishings are fabricated in a dedicated workshop separate from the millwork environment — climate-controlled to stable temperature and humidity, away from the dust and solvent exposure that woodworking generates. The same direct supervision standard applies.
Private Practice.
Era takes a limited number of residential projects at any time — enough to give each one full attention from start to installation. We work across Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Hamptons, Westchester, New Jersey, and Connecticut. Most clients find us through an architect, a designer, or someone whose home we have worked in.
Directly & In Confidence.
We work with private residential clients and their design teams — interior designers and architects who want a fabricator with both technical depth and design literacy. We engage directly on every decision that affects what we build.
Client information is held in confidence. Most of our completed work has never been photographed for publication. The clients who commission at this level are not seeking visibility, and neither are we.
Inquiries are handled personally by the studio principal.
