Design is our passion and craft is our medium. Ali Sandifer is a design studio and workshop with a particular fondness for furniture. Our work is born from a simple belief that design, material, and craft must work together to achieve intelligence, beauty, and longevity.
Our design process is sincere. We approach a challenge in search for a solution. We talk. We research. We question. We sketch. We prototype. We work at full-scale through multiple iterations until we arrive at the final product. We consider Ali Sandifer to be a laboratory for experimentation and refinement. The integrated nature of our operation allows us to move fluidly between studio and workshop, and design and craft.
The Ali Sandifer Collection includes tables, desks, and storage units. Each piece is a balance of organic and straight-lined forms that create both surface and storage. Every moment and detail in a piece is celebrated. Joints are sculpted for beauty and structure. Hidden features are treated the same as those that are visible – backs and bottoms are as important as fronts and tops. Our work is crafted out of American hardwoods – walnut, maple, and oak – and finished with natural oils and wax. The Ali Sandifer Collection is made to order and crafted – from beginning to end – in our studio in Detroit.
