Hi there, I'm Ben and I am currently building furniture in the Twin Cities. With over 15 years of experience, my furniture-building focuses on style, design, and craftsmanship.
Growing up in the heart of Chicago, my first professional venture into woodworking was as an apprentice in a local cabinet shop. I then went on to spend summers in Vermont honing my skills in historical restoration while working on the Vanderbilt and Robert Frost estates. Upon returning to Chicago, I combined my cabinetmaking and restoration experiences to develop a niche mountmaking business which quickly evolved into a fine furniture business.
My work can be seen in private residences, art galleries, and upscale restaurants across the country.
A guide to the best items from the best makers and the stories behind them.

For Customizable Blanket Chest - HardwoodBen's blanket chest was even dreamier than we could imagine! Working with Ben was so easy and he was able to accommodate the changes to his design that we asked for. We are so glad we went with white oak, it really makes a statement in our living room. Our chest is incredibly sturdy and fits so many blankets. We can't wait to order our nest Ben Newman Furniture piece! Thanks, Ben!
