About
Origin & Ethos
Wren Valley Studio was founded on the belief that furniture should be more than functional - it should be meaningful, beautiful, and built to last generations. Based in halfway between Mt. Hood and the Oregon Coast, I create bespoke pieces that honor the natural beauty of wood while serving the unique needs of each client.Drawing inspiration from mid-century modern, Japanese, and Scandinavian design traditions, I blend timeless aesthetics with contemporary sensibilities. Each piece is designed and crafted with meticulous attention to joinery, proportion, and finish.I work primarily with sustainably sourced hardwoods like walnut, maple, and white oak, selected for their beauty, durability, and character. The finishes I use enhance the natural grain while providing lasting protection and easy maintance that are non-toxic and age gracefully.- Dexter A. Payne, Owner & Founding Artist
Process
1. Discovery
Every piece starts with a conversation. I begin by understanding your needs, space, and aesthetic preferences. Through conversation and site visits when possible, I gather the information needed to design a piece that's perfectly suited to you.
2. Design
Icreate detailed drawings and 3D renderings for your review. Together, we refine dimensions, proportions, wood species, and finish options. This collaborative process ensures the final design exceeds your expectations.
3. Material Selection
I carefully select lumber for each project, considering grain pattern, color, and character. For live edge work, I help you choose the perfect slab. Material samples and finish samples are provided when appropriate.
4. Fabrication
Each piece is built in my workshop using traditional joinery techniques and modern precision. Everything is done in-house from milling wood to carefully assembling each component. Finish is applied by hand in multiple coats.
5. Delivery & Install
I handle delivery and installation personally whenever possible. For orders outside of our delivery radius, I contract with professional movers to ensure your piece arrives safely and is properly positioned in your space. Care instructions and maintenance guidance are provided to help your furniture age beautifully.
