Contemporary American firm Newell Design Studio has been creating sophisticated sideboards, end tables, dressers and other furniture with mid-century modern charm for decades.
Newell was founded in California by Jeff and Beth Newell, who also currently serve as the company's creative directors. The firm was born of a passion for furniture that is useful, innovative and appealing to look at. The principals source materials from local suppliers and regularly enlist the work of nearby artisans.
In his designs, Jeff Newell strives to let the materials speak for themselves by prominently showcasing details like the grain of the wood or the natural veining of the stone. The studio’s seating, tables and other pieces are finished with one of more than 80 durable lacquers. In line with Newell's craftsmanship-first approach, these finishes are applied by hand in a multi-step process. Newell also offers parchment and shagreen finishes — the latter, a favorite of Art Deco designers such as Jean-Michel Frank, has re-emerged over the years as a luxe material for decorators and furniture makers.
Newell Design Studio offers a full range of design and build services — from the shop drawings to the final product — and works extensively with leading architects and interior designers. Its collaborators have included California-based interior design firms Circa Genevieve and Kristi Will Home + Design.
"Jeff Newell is who I turn to for custom furniture," Will told SFGATE. "He creates pieces that are the antiques of tomorrow."
