Design & Craftsmanship. Integrated.


It's pretty simple. Good design benefits from the knowledge of skilled craftsmen. Quality craftsmanship is improved with quality design. That's the idea here at HF2 Design. It's what we do.

A little History

In 1999, I founded The Hat Factory Furniture Company, with the desire to provide a design focused resource capable of producing the highest quality furniture and cabinetry. More than just a cabinet shop, The Hat Factory would provide it's clients with knowledge, design expertise, and great customer service. Tens years later, we've succeeded. The Hat Factory exists as a premiere woodworking shop serving clients in New York City, Westchester, and the Hudson Valley. Working directly with homeowners and architects, our talented craftsmen produce the finest woodwork anywhere. If something can be built, these guys can do it. Better than anyone. I'm proud of the skill and dedication they bring to every project.

Why this matters.

For the client, the benefits of a unified approach are many. Prime among them is the expansion of possibilities. Working together, our designers and craftsmen form a team that provides solutions to complex design challenges. Equally important is the ability to controls costs across the entire project. The dialogue that exists within our team allows us to find the most cost effective way to provide the best possible result.

Today, as a natural evolution of the design based approach we started at The Hat Factory, HF2 Design's mission is to continue uniting the disciplines of design and craftsmanship, providing our clients with the finest furniture and cabinetry possible.
