Smalstuf is a fully-equipped makerspace dedicated to transforming the way people interact with their furniture. Our studio provides artisans and everyday enthusiasts with the tools and space needed to create bespoke pieces. Smalstuf hosts engaging workshop classes, allowing participants to experience the satisfaction of crafting their own furniture. Our mission is to foster a community where creative minds and local makers can connect, share resources, and inspire one another. By offering access to professional-grade facilities and tools, Smalstuf empowers individuals to bring their unique visions to life.
