As the owner and maker at S. E. Hall Furniture & Design, I am dedicated to making high quality, lasting wood products that improve your everyday life, beautify your space and make you smile during use.

S. E. Hall Furniture & Design is founded upon veneration for the utilitarian, combined with a purist aesthetic. My appreciation for the trades originates from the tools of my late grandfather, a submarine welder during WWII. Examining his tools in my youth, I was first exposed to the idea of transforming raw materials into something of functional value, an idea that stuck with me until I became a woodworker many years later. In the time that passed between, I discovered and pursued a passion for the natural world, and spent a decade working with teenagers through therapeutic wilderness programs. During those years spent guiding I enjoyed beautiful landscapes and adventure, and developed a deep awareness of pure and simple beauty.
​
Upon moving to Maine I found myself working in a small cabinet shop and my interests shifted toward woodworking, which combined my passion for beauty with my appreciation for practical trades. Since, I have honed my craft at the Center for Furniture Craftsmanship and the Connecticut Valley School of Woodworking, learning from a number of incredible educators and makers. I spent a handful of years working with Thos. Moser Cabinetmakers and co-founded my first company producing workbench tops for Lie-Nielsen Toolworks.
​
S. E. Hall Furniture & Design represents a shift toward a higher level of design delivered through clean lines and personal interactions with clients. I am excited to hear about your interests and ready to design and craft the furniture piece that you have been wanting. Contact me, and let’s begin with a conversation.
