thoughts on business
Nothing honest can be made fast or cheap as the real price is paid for by the earth, the worker, or your home.
The current system is too complex.
OHUSA likes simplicity. Simplicity is naturally free of waste and harm. If building furniture in some way can strengthen community, reduce harm to the environment, and promote better living for people then it’s furniture worth building.
“conscious designs for a kinder home.”
Remaining mindful in all steps (planning, sourcing, producing, and delivering) is how I choose to work.

“I couldn’t find furniture I liked. I used a hammer and hand saw to build my first few peices. This made me interested in making furniture for other people.
The joy of making things.”
-Brennen Waldron, designer & builder
