I’m proud of this chair design. Chairs are hard, but this one is getting easier with every repetition … we have two in the works right now and Ivy is in the process of building a stackable chair army. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4qBADOj164/?igshid=ntv6cmwwcecs
Siosi slab before + after. When Ivy was an adorable little goober, she had trouble skipping … it was more of a skip-trot and looked something like what she’s doing in that second image. Very cute, but she’s a little sensitive about it, so don’t make fun. 😉 https://www.instagram.com/p/B4nKHhsjU-_/?igshid=sy6tqydfivty
About 4 years ago we split a few osage orange logs with our buddy … way out somewhere in rural Indiana. We have one stave left that’s ready to be made into a traditional longbow. We follow the grain + rings of the osage, so they tend to be a little wonky in the best possible way … fully functional and very fun for shooting at hay bales. As a kid who was obsessed with Robin Hood, making bows is like a childhood dream come true (2nd image). https://www.instagram.com/p/B4iW8PJjNvc/?igshid=1dpfhhue1pjr1
Did ya know that @ivysiosi is a certified welder? She has a background in classic car restoration … combine that with a degree in art, years of home building experience, 9 dedicated years to woodworking and you have a very important business partner. Add endless sweetness to the mix and you probably understand why we’ve been so dang in love for 9.5 years. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4c3kfcD3tA/?igshid=6q1esemi6e4m
Our Lowdown Coffee Table. We traded a motorcycle for this North Carolina black walnut slab. Spent about a million hours on the details, and now it’s in a gallery with a whole slew of amazing pieces in Philly. This 48” x 48” coffee table will be ready for pick-up or ship-out in January, let us know if you’re interested in learning about the details. There’s a chance this will be a one-off piece. The solid round legs are all hand scooped and the number of hours spent on chiseling out inlays is a little nuts. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4PoxgWDE3g/?igshid=doa98ui7z0eb
Shaping the backrest, sitting, shaping, sitting. After weeks of dialing in angles + details, our Windsor inspired dining chair is nearly finished! Made from a solid ash slab and a single osage orange spindle. The trees were taken from my family’s property in northern Indiana … on the land that I grew up on. We downed two ash trees before the emerald ash borer ruined the lumber. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4FTFEojhyN/?igshid=6d6wzg4qh4xi
Family Chair #2 in the works … slight changes in angle, a few details tweaked, but the feel is the same. Every bit of this chair (other than the one osage orange spindle) comes from a single ash slab taken from my parents property - we have two trees worth of ash, and each chair looks like a sibling. To make ‘em even more special, the legs and spindles are hand shaped, so you can feel the texture left behind by my spokeshave. These aren’t made quickly, they’re hand shaped and crafted with extra care to last you and your family a good long while. https://www.instagram.com/p/B37l78JDNE_/?igshid=ucinmw8ovrei

We delivered this piece to Manhattan about a year ago … the legs are easily detachable, so it went through a fifth floor window. The next evening, we shared the first meal on our first Critical Mass Dining Table … a six course Indian meal with incredible wine pairings. The night ended with a dance party. ❤️ #dreamjob https://www.instagram.com/p/B3zU7IMjqZN/?igshid=e6758e71jn5l
This shot was an excuse to take a quick break from the dust … Ivy’s back in the metal shop working on a dozen stackable chairs, and I’m on the wood side of the shop cookin’ up an order of 2 Family Chairs. #redwingpartner #redwingboots @redwingheritagewomen https://www.instagram.com/p/B3u6k7IjLG2/?igshid=ad4ljblvk9b1
Three shou sugi ban axes heading out the door! Charred hickory handle with carved details + an expertly sharpened axe head. DM me for the details, these aren’t available on our site. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3mqrb8jJ_D/?igshid=1hzcqq5yunv0c
The Family Chair - designed to accommodate your family’s dining table, made from ash trees from my family’s property, built to last generations. This is a prototype, the final design will be slightly different, but the material and the overall vibe will remain the same. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3j2S9KD3wW/?igshid=lpyo490ubf3g
Yesterday, we had the privilege of an extra special tour of the @wesherickmuseum. Yes, we touched everything, and yes we were completely blown away by the space. Equally impressive was the crew we were with and the director of the museum, Julie. Wowee. What a weekend. Thank you for your hospitality, Philly. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3VCNFGDoOI/?igshid=1cl0hw0hk8qi6
Experiments in glass mold making for our friend Megan’s class at @tyler_artandarchitecture! We had no idea what to expect, and had a blast learning a little bit more about the process. A giant thank you to @megalicious77 for hosting us for a talk, class demo, as well as putting us up in Philly for a couple of nights. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3PRhNfjCD_/?igshid=17n4bfhnbg82q
Tonight’s the night! The @making.a.seat.at.the.table opening @centerforartinwood 5-9pm, with a curators talk from 6-7. We’re unbelievably honored to be a part of this show and can’t wait see everyone’s work in person, meet some new pals, and feel the power of so many women artists in one space. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3NH8Bnjvz1/?igshid=5zf668c4e6vh
Stackable steel chair production is underway! @ivysiosi does all of our welding in-house. It’s over 90° in the shop right now, too hot for full coverage, so she’s wearing sunscreen … for you concerned folks out there. @redwingheritagewomen #redwingpartner #silversmith https://www.instagram.com/p/B3KGOJajIdj/?igshid=1bt0efallwpy7
Chair prototype in the works. This design has been in my head for months, and it feels good to finally take a seat. Also, this marks our first experimentation in steam bending … I’m pretty sure we got lucky, this little seat back was our first go at it. Still refining shapes + details, but getting close! https://www.instagram.com/p/B3HfDGTDuUH/?igshid=5z9srhwhjxiu
Our Haystack Stool next to a little one-off piece Ivy made for my sister. My big sis has been working on her back room for over a year, and it’s finally coming together … no, she’s not keeping the Haystack Stool, it’s still available 😝 Link in my story. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3CWeM_jTyl/?igshid=mhkz00374z2z
All of our work is designed and made by us, all videos are shot and edited by me. My background is in photography (I have an MfA), but I’ve taught myself video as I go … still learning (I’ve only scratched the surface!) and enjoying the process. My hope is to convey the attention to detail, sheen + quality of our finish, the design as a whole, and hopefully a bit of our personalities. Thanks for watching and have a lovely Sunday. 👊 This exact table is currently available for purchase, link in my story. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2_6L1iDtN3/?igshid=101yy7untrtej
Our Lowdown Coffee Table has officially landed in Philly! We’ll be at @centerforartinwood for the @making.a.seat.at.the.table opening on 10/4. Stop by, see this monster of a table, and meet us along with 41 other amazing women artists! The pictured center pieces are shrink pots by our friend, @danielle_rose_byrd https://www.instagram.com/p/B268gGbDoYp/?igshid=1o7y2hvldy3k0
Design process … let us know what inspires you and we’ll put our heads together, set you up with a drawing, and make your custom piece. Sometimes custom work is a one-off, other times we love ‘em so much, they end up on our website. Our 180° Bench/Table is now available. Link in my story. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2126CQhbf7/?igshid=ottikxkysfn8
One of our favorite parts of this job is honing our process with the tools that we have. We don’t have a lathe, so we shape squares into circles by hand with a spokeshave. And for this piece, Ivy carved the texture by hand. But we do have a @shapertools which came in handy for routing perfect 4.5” circles for our legs, as well as making easy work of our maker’s mark. Our process is always changing and getting better, but for this particular table, this is how we did it. Side note - I’m obsessed with orchids and thrilled that my Oncidium is blooming right now. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2uTPDQAQ0J/?igshid=ehqk8qjwyli8
This corner was built out with off-cuts (and a series of inlays) to make this giant coffee table a square 48”x48” surface. If a slab is stunning, but a bit of a wild shape, we make it work and let it sing! https://www.instagram.com/p/B2bv0xXja9o/?igshid=b2u84kh5ws7y
We traded a motorcycle for this slab (plus a few others). Downed and milled in North Carolina by our buddy @gabeaucottwoodworker (🖤), and soon to be shown in a gallery in Philadelphia, @centerforartinwood. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2ZM5ybjqKE/?igshid=neslc5s3j88m
Sculpting joinery is fun + white oak is beautiful! This table is currently available … the majority of our work is made to order, but this is a rare piece that is ready for delivery (we ship everywhere)! We made this specifically to photograph and video for our website, and it’s the same piece we posted a couple of days ago with the inlays. Feel free to contact us for additional images, we have several. Link in my story. This is the 97”x34” piece on our website. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UFAnDjFde/?igshid=hh6b0rqnfbqb
Ivy says this is the last time she’s ever hand scooping 4 legs, but I bet we can talk her into it again … she’s pretty accommodating. These are solid 4.5” diameter legs for the @making.a.seat.at.the.table piece we’re working on. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2RnklOjyrM/?igshid=1jcnveo84n42e
What’s with all of the inlays? For this piece, we used ‘em to mend small cracks that form during the drying process (checking). We needed to get the most out of our lumber, so instead of cutting the ends of the boards, we hand chiseled several inlays to create a smooth surface. It’s practical and aesthetic and we’ve probably done a thousand of ‘em at this point. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2O1m6bjFk7/?igshid=12azowisgb62t
We’ve enjoyed taking our sweet time on a special piece for the @making.a.seat.at.the.table exhibition in Philly this Fall. We’re honored to be included in the first all women exhibition since 1983, which is the year Ivy and I were both born. We’ll be at The Center for Art in Wood for the opening on Oct. 4 … stop by and say hi. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2MTTb4jYqq/?igshid=xbqebffcg50y
This wild, beautiful piece is officially in its new home … a space with unbelievable style by @natalieodesign. Thanks for including us! We look forward to working with y’all again! ❤️ https://www.instagram.com/p/B2CVveBj4vy/?igshid=nievntq7gso5
We’ve been thinking + talking about luxury a lot lately. What does it mean to design + make luxury furniture? Many high end brands photograph their pieces in fabricated environments, all white backdrops, maybe next to a plant, often devoid of people … these have proven to be great ways to sell furniture, we do it too. That said, we want to up our game, expand our aesthetic, think outside the box … BUT I don’t think we’ll ever be able to resist the classic SIOSI action shot. What can we say, we like to goof off, luxury or not. https://www.instagram.com/p/B16tJMojNLr/?igshid=ex8w2ldstlfg
We had the honor of delivering these three bar stools to Bloomington’s only Platinum LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Home! All of our lumber is sustainable + domestic, so to have work in a net-zero home is pretty special. https://www.instagram.com/p/B1yx7IUD9mN/?igshid=1fwd2r41a3hub
