What Thomas Hayes Studio does

Thomas Hayes Studio is a Los Angeles-based furniture studio that designs and handcrafts made-to-order furniture for private residential clients, interior designers and architects, and hospitality and commercial projects. Its portfolio spans seating, tables, case goods, beds, sofas, benches, lighting, hand-knotted rugs, accessories, finish samples, and a separate collection of vintage designer furniture.

Manufacturing is centered at its workshop and showroom in Hollywood. The studio uses solid oak and walnut, old-growth wood naturally exposed to the elements, hand-applied finishes, traditional joinery, and custom upholstery that includes customer-owned material and leather. It offers custom dimensions, more than 20 finish combinations across wood, metal, and leather, and brass or steel hardware options.

The business is primarily transactional, with revenue from quote-based custom orders, ready-to-go inventory, floor-model sales, and authenticated vintage pieces. Custom orders require a 50% non-refundable deposit and carry a stated 14-18 week lead time, with a 25% expedite fee available to reduce lead time by approximately half; full payment is due before shipment or pickup. The studio sells directly through email and its e-commerce website, offers trade pricing and project documentation to design professionals, and coordinates nationwide white-glove delivery and freight.
