About Elwood Design Co.

At Elwood Design Co., we build handmade hardwood furniture that inspires joy, sparks conversation, and brings people together.

Whether it is an art installation for a coffee shop, an heirloom dining table for your home, or a custom desk designed to elevate your work experience, our goal remains the same: to add lasting beauty to your life. From the very beginning, we set out to create furniture you will never want to throw away. Each piece is built from high quality materials, without mass produced shortcuts. Instead, we seek out the finest natural materials and thoughtfully highlight their inherent character and beauty.Every piece we make is one of a kind, shaped by both the maker and the owner, and designed to be lived with, cared for, and passed down.

Who We Work With

We work with both residential and commercial clients, from crafting a single custom dining table for a home to producing large scale orders for restaurants and hospitality spaces. We provide straightforward, transparent quotes so you can make informed decisions for your family or business. In many cases, we are able to deliver a quote within 24 to 48 hours.Typical lead times range from 6 to 12 weeks, depending on the scope of the project. While most of our work is built in house, we have established strong relationships within the custom furniture community to support specialized components. These partnerships include trusted metalworkers, CNC shops, leatherworkers, and upholsterers.On the rare occasion a project falls outside our capabilities, we are often able to recommend a local specialist who is well suited to the work. We also regularly collaborate with interior designers, architects, and builders, and offer a 10 percent trade discount.







Joel Elwood

Owner

Elwood Design is the result of a long dream in the making. After working in several different industries, I began building custom furniture as a hobby and quickly discovered a deep passion for creating heirloom quality pieces. That journey began over 12 years ago.In 2021, I stepped away from my career to pursue Elwood Design full time. Since then, the business has grown into a dedicated team of five, working out of a beautiful historic shop building near the heart of Fullerton.We are located at 221 W Santa Fe Avenue in Fullerton, California, and we welcome visits by appointment. If you would like to stop by, see the shop, and experience our work in person, simply reach out by email to schedule a visit.
