Designs by Chad Shelton

Each piece is personally designed by Chad Shelton, executed with exotic woods and handcrafted to perfection.

Chad Shelton is fascinated with architecture and a desire to incorporate color into everything he creates. He works on each of his designs until it strikes a chord that harmonizes the piece. His inspirations often come in the middle of working on a project. At that point, he'll stop everything to get the idea down on paper, immediately recording the idea for future projects.

Simple and Elegant

Shelton keeps his creations simple and elegant. Each requires careful planning and a keen eye for proportions. He enjoys developing each element of a piece knowing that when it's all put together it will be a dramatic and functional piece of furniture.

"I personally design each of my works to be functional as well as aesthetically pleasing to be around. I make furnishings that are truly a part of their environment, one piece of wood at a time." ... Chad Shelton
