About Thomas Hayes Studio

Thomas Hayes Studio is a Los Angeles–based, husband-and-wife–led furniture studio specializing in handcrafted, custom furniture designed to last for generations.

​

Founded by designer and maker Thomas Hayes and led alongside his wife, Jonelle Hayes, CEO, the studio brings together creative vision and operational excellence—where thoughtful design meets disciplined craftsmanship and care.

Every piece is designed and handmade in Los Angeles, built one at a time by skilled craftsmen who understand that true luxury lives in restraint, proportion, and materials that age beautifully.

​

A Shared Vision: Design and Leadership

Thomas Hayes serves as Creative Director, shaping the studio’s aesthetic language through sculptural forms, architectural lines, and a deep respect for materials. His designs are rooted in timeless modernism, informed by travel, craft traditions, and the belief that furniture should feel both intentional and lived-in.

​

As CEO, Jonelle Hayes oversees the strategic direction of the studio, guiding operations, client relationships, and long-term growth. With a focus on quality, transparency, and collaboration, she ensures that every project—custom or collection—reflects the studio’s standards and values.

​

Together, they lead Thomas Hayes Studio with a shared commitment to integrity, longevity, and thoughtful design.

Handcrafted, Custom Furniture Made to Order

We specialize in custom-made, made-to-order furniture for residential and commercial interiors. Our work includes custom sofas, upholstered seating, solid wood dining tables, bar stools, and sculptural accent pieces, all designed to respond to the space they inhabit.

​

We work closely with interior designers, architects, and private clients, tailoring scale, finish, and details to ensure each piece feels intentional and enduring.

​

A Los Angeles Furniture Studio with a National Reach

Based in Los Angeles, our workshop and showroom serve as the heart of our process. While rooted in Southern California, we collaborate with clients and designers across the United States, creating luxury custom furniture for homes, hospitality spaces, and design-forward commercial projects.

​

Our work reflects a West Coast sensibility—refined, relaxed, and quietly confident.

​

Materials, Craftsmanship, and Longevity

We use responsibly sourced materials, including solid hardwoods and premium upholstery, selected for durability and beauty. Each piece is bench-made and finished by hand, built to stand up to real life and age with grace.

​

Our philosophy is simple: build fewer things, better. We believe furniture should last, be repaired when needed, and become part of a home’s history.
