Greg Makos - About Makos Furniture and Design.jpg
 

Hi there, I’m Greg. I’m a custom furniture designer and builder, reupholstering fanatic, husband, and—my favorite role—dad.

I’ve always been passionate about designing, building, and creating—and that passion, paired with my entrepreneurial spirit, meant it was only a matter of time before my after-work hobby evolved into much more than that. I left my full-time day job as a Project Manager/Design Engineer in 2020 to grow the business I’m most passionate about. Now, I work with clients all over Northeast Wisconsin to design and create custom furniture that fits their style, personality, and space.

I understand the sentimental value a piece of furniture can have—but sometimes, even an heirloom can start to look a little outdated. Nothing bothers me more than seeing furniture that has so much potential being tossed to the wayside, so I learned how to refurbish and reupholster old, unsightly furniture to have a modern and much more appealing twist.

Found a chair for a steal at a rummage sale but hate the current pattern on it? Want to see a meaningful, albeit slightly outdated, family heirloom refreshed? In dire need of a new dining room table but haven’t been able to find exactly what you’re looking for?

I’m your guy. I’ll work closely with you to make sure your vision comes to life, and I’ll create renderings and mock-ups of your design before I even start building or refurbishing. Plus, with our upfront pricing, you won’t have any surprises along the way.

Contact me today with any custom furniture or reupholstery projects you have in mind. Let’s see what we can create together!
