Our story · The Carpentry Shop Co.

A family. A workshop. A love of making.

Born from the idea of doing something you love, every single day.

We are Natalie and Julian Dion, the husband-and-wife team behind a family-owned furniture and fabrication studio in Northvale, New Jersey.

A different kind of working life

We followed what we loved. Then built a life around it.

The Carpentry Shop Co. began with a shared love of artful design and handcrafted home furnishings. We left established career paths to build a business where we could create together and make work we cared about.

Julian brought a family tradition spanning four generations of woodworking. Natalie brought her eye for interiors and experience as a government analyst. Together, we developed our design skills, learned through making, and shaped a business around craftsmanship and collaboration.

Today, our work includes custom furniture, cabinetry, architectural millwork, and selected outdoor pieces. Alongside what we make, our shop offers furnishings and architectural products from other makers and brands we bring together for your projects.

Our family manifesto

Made for the moments that make a home.

As parents, family is at the heart of what and why we create. We think about dining tables where ideas are shared, coffee tables where everyone gathers, and desks where the next chapter begins.

The pieces we live with become part of our daily rituals. Our aim is to create furnishings and spaces that invite connection, reflect the people who use them, and carry meaning beyond how they look.

With love, Natalie, Julian, Sofia & Alexandra

What guides our work

Care in the details. Purpose in the making.

01

Craftsmanship

We bring a woodworker’s attention to materials, construction, and finish, considering how a piece will look, feel, and be used.

02

Collaboration

We work alongside homeowners and design professionals to understand the vision, explore the details, and develop a practical path to fabrication.

03

Family & community

Our business grows through relationships—with clients, fellow makers, and the people who welcome our work into their homes.
