The Alder Sofa
A low, generous four-seater in kiln-dried hardwood with feather-down cushions and full-grain leather.
from $4,850Strato is a design-and-build atelier crafting made-to-order furniture in solid hardwood. One workshop, one team, one obsession — pieces built by hand to outlive trends and generations alike.
Mass-market furniture is engineered to be replaced. We work the other way: slower, by hand, in materials that age beautifully. The result is furniture you'll never need to buy twice.
FSC-certified solid hardwoods, full-grain leathers and natural oils — never veneer over particleboard.
Mortise-and-tenon and hand-cut dovetails, not staples and glue. Built to be repaired, not discarded.
Dimensions, wood, finish and hardware — specified to your space and drawn before we cut.

We learn your space, your habits and your vision — in the studio, by video, or on site.
Scaled drawings, wood and finish samples, and a fixed, itemized quote with no surprises.
Your piece is built by a single lead maker in our atelier — typically 4 to 8 weeks.
We deliver, place, assemble and inspect every piece in your home, then take the packaging away.
