:: ABOUT CONTINUED ::

Jason Wade is the principle designer and builder, but the shop also draws on the talents of local craftspeople of which Chicago has no short supply. Educated at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in painting and printmaking, Jason Wade's design approach is informed by an artist's eye towards form and a builder's awareness of process. Restraint in conception, a willful consideration of materials, and expert execution typifies the work of 45 Degrees. While the majority of the furniture produced employs solid wood joinery and hand-applied finishes, we have veneering and spray finish capabilities for appropriate applications. It is important for each piece built by us to leave the shop and never have to return. Building things well is a guiding principle.
