Piser Designs was founded in 1993 by Larry Piser, who began crafting custom furniture from reclaimed wood in a trailer near Taos, NM.

Our process begins with client collaboration, translating conceptual ideas into unique furniture solutions that reflect both client vision and our signature style. Each piece is handcrafted with attention to grain patterns and organic shapes, ensuring one-of-a-kind designs that solve specific spatial challenges. We maintain a hands-on approach, from initial consultation to final installation, prioritizing personal service and quality craftsmanship.Our work has expanded from personal projects to serving a diverse clientele seeking custom furniture for residential and commercial spaces. Located in South Bend, IN, we continue to emphasize sustainability through material reuse and timeless design principles. The business remains committed to preserving the human touch in every creation, with over two decades of experience in transforming client concepts into functional art.
