Founded on craft.
Built for your space.
Founded as a one-man custom furniture design and building business, MDM Design has grown into a multi-service company providing the many aspects of custom furniture, cabinetry, and millwork needs.
Our focus is a detailed and hands-on approach to achieve a high-end finished product. No project is too out of the ordinary or custom.

How It Works
Our Process
01
Define
Your needs, design details, and timeline are determined during this initial step. We provide a plan, an estimate, and agreed-upon terms.
02
Design
We take your pre-existing plans or new ideas and create a custom design tailored to your project. Samples are provided when needed before production begins.
03
Deliver
After completing your design, we coordinate delivery and installation to ensure your pieces arrive safely and are installed with care.
What We Build
Services
Design
From a single piece to an entire room, we turn your vision into precise plans — with material samples confirmed before a single cut is made.
Cabinetry
Fully custom solutions that transform how your space looks and functions. We coordinate seamlessly with your architect or builder at every stage.
Furniture
Beyond our Facet line, every piece is built exclusively for you — from material selection through the final finishing pass.
Metalwork
Brass, steel, and iron woven into furniture, cabinetry, and shelving. We thrive on the unexpected and will consider any project.
Finishing
Cerused, lacquered, hand-rubbed wax, multi-step stains. Our finishing team achieves the exact look your project demands.
Installation
Every project is delivered and placed by our team. Nothing is installed until we know it will stay that way.

Verified Client
"I purchased a condo that MDM Design Studio had done all the kitchen cabinetry and millwork in 5-6 years ago. We wanted to add matching pieces and Michael seamlessly matched the existing work. The quality is exceptional."

The Artisans Behind The Studio
A team,
not a factory.
Owner Michael and shop manager Charles lead a team of dedicated craftsmen who take personal pride in what leaves the workshop. Quality is not a checkbox — it is a standard everyone here holds each other to.
Every project is treated as if it will be featured in a magazine. Because occasionally, it is.

The studio behind the studio.
Many of our projects originate with interior designers, architects, and builders who rely on us to translate their vision into built reality. We are comfortable with shop drawings, close tolerances, and tight timelines.
