Aurianna Cotter’s studio is rooted in traditional methods of joinery and craft, reimagined through bold, expressive designs. Each piece is made with locally sourced wood and thoughtfully crafted to last generations, honoring the studio's guiding values of environmentalism and slow manufacturing.

  • Aurianna Cotter is a Designer with a BFA from Savannah College of Art and Design. She spent 7 years as an industrial designer and later as an upstream marketer at a global healthcare company before making furniture full time. Cotter has strong familial roots in woodworking and knew once she dove back into it in 2020, that it was her calling.

    Cotter resides in St. Louis, MO with her husband Jimmie and dog Reuben.

  • Wood: Locally sourced hardwood from St. Louis neighborhoods. Primarily cherry, oak, and maple.

    Hide glue: A non-toxic ancient form of glue that enables the furniture to be repairable and enduring for generations.
