Ciseal

Business Description

Ciseal was inspired by the Midcentury Modern architecture and design that’s so prevalent in and around Detroit.  The thoughtful, functional blend of nature and the modern, clean lines of these buildings influenced me to create my own designs using the classic Midcentury Modern method of molding bent plywood.

I proudly design and make all of my products to-order and by hand in my Leonard, Michigan studio.  I searched high and low for strong yet flexible wood veneer to make my products, and found it in a custom mix of maple, birch, and poplar.  My wood layers are sustainably-sourced from responsibly-harvested forests in the upper midwest and northeast.  Each Ciseal product is inspired by the world around me and thoughtfully vetted through countless hours of research, design, and crafting.  The finished products I offer are the result of many iterations and fine tuning for comfort, usability, and style.  The quality of my products is in the details: the intentional curves, the hand-layered, sustainable, beautiful wood veneer, and the ease of use.
