57st. design is a direct-to-consumer contemporary furniture brand based out of Chicago. We design, manufacture, and retail all of our work in-house, and all from our Pilsen workshop. Our goal is to make furniture that’s functional, beautiful in its simplicity, and built to last. This means solid, American hardwoods and hand-rubbed finish. It also means furniture that’s made to order and, if you’d like, customizable. Above all, it means furniture that’s available at a price that reflects the true cost of quality materials and ethical, sustainable manufacturing.

The name West 40 comes from the term "back forty acres," meaning "the backside of the farm." Typically, this acreage was the last to be cultivated because it was the least likely to produce a bountiful crop. At West 40 Studio, we see things a little differently. We see the backside of the farm as a bountiful opportunity. Let us help you re-define your back forty acres.

Simple, modern, residential architecture inspired by humble, agrarian structures.
