CUSTOM METAL FURNITURE, LIGHTING & FABRICATION
Andrew Stansell is a Chicago based furniture and lighting designer, fabricator & sculptor who produces his own designs and offers custom lighting, furniture and metal fabrication services.
He strives for a sense of simplicity, honesty and authenticity in all his pieces. He seeks to achieve this through well thought-out design and a balanced use of proportion. This is coupled with materials that convey an almost primitive, textural feel, while retaining a sense of refinement and simple elegance.
He often treats steel in the way that traditional wood and moldings have been used in furniture or cabinetry making, and thinks of himself as a furniture maker who happens to be working with metal and welding equipment.
Projects include tables, bookcases, shelves, etageres, consoles, chairs, benches and seating, architectural iron work, industrial design, custom mounts for sculptures & art, custom hi-fi and stereo equipment stands, metal mirror and picture frames, light fixtures, fireplace surrounds, mantles & screens, armoires, vanities & cabinets, store displays & fixtures, restaurant fixtures, hand rails and outdoor café planters in steel, stainless, brass / bronze & aluminum (mig and tig processes). Metal forging, CNC, Water jet, laser and plasma cutting available.
Metal finishes include natural and patinaed steel, black oxide, powder coated, polished and plated metals (nickel, chrome, brass, galvanized plating). Transitional materials such as wood, stone and plastics available.

For Steel Rolling Library LadderWe worked with Andrew to create a 60-foot long library ladder, spanning multiple bookshelves, with multiple ladders. Andrew worked with us to develop a design for the ladder and multiple unique connection details, and was in constant communication about the progress and development of the many details. The final product speaks for itself: a well-crafted, well-executed rolling ladder that looks great in the space. We hope to work with Andrew in the future!

For Custom Steel Console TableAndrew was great - he was very communicative and transparent about the details of the project as well as timing (actually delivered early). The end result was a beautiful piece that fits perfectly where we intended and I'd be happy to work with Andrew again in the future.
