Furniture made slowly, for rooms you want to stay in
We design a short list of chairs, tables, sofas and lamps, and make them in small workshops from solid wood and honest fabrics.
Alcove began in a Brooklyn garage with one chair, a borrowed lathe and a long list of things we wished furniture did better.
