PRODUCTION & TRADE

Contractor-Direct Fabrication Coordination

The Furniture Brat collaborates with interior designers, architects, and contractors to develop custom furniture for residential and commercial interiors. Our studio supports the design process from concept through fabrication, allowing furniture to be tailored to the specific scale, materials, and performance requirements of each project.

Trade clients receive access to fabrication coordination, design collaboration, and project oversight to ensure furniture integrates seamlessly within the overall architectural vision.

Trade Coordination

We work directly with established Minnesota fabrication partners, including:

Metal fabricators

Specifications, finishes, and scheduling are coordinated across trades to maintain consistency and production accuracy.

Fabrication Oversight

This oversight helps prevent miscommunication, material errors, and costly rework during fabrication.

Material testing and sampling available prior to scaled production.

Vendor Communication Management

We act as the point of coordination between:

Clear direction. Fewer revisions. Controlled timelines.

Built for Execution

Whether supporting a single custom element or a multi-trade fabrication scope, we provide disciplined coordination focused on accuracy, durability, and build readiness.
