Tetome (Hand-Eye) House
Founded in 2020, our mission is the creation of handmade, long-lasting heirloom furniture pieces. An emphasis on solid wood joinery, and one-of-a-kind design makes Tetome House a unique maker. It is the client’s trust in Tetome House’s aesthetic, design, and furniture-making skills that allows us to produce pieces that will endure.
Tetome House is inspired by the simplicity and strength of Japanese & Scandinavian aesthetics and construction. In Japanese, Tetome (手と目 : Teh-toe-may) means ‘hand and eye’. The foundation of our creative philosophy is the quality, durability, and beauty that comes from solid wood joinery; designing, fabricating, delivering exceptional custom wood furniture.
You are the key element in designing your very own custom furniture piece. The space, the style, the lumber; you will be guided through all manners of customization as we trim and refine your idea into a single one-of-a-kind piece.

In and between the two schooling periods were many jobs in the woodworking field. Curtis’ vision, as a designer and maker, is to create unique solid wood furniture. Ultimately, his main goal is to challenge himself to push his wood joinery skills and designs for each new project.
