About US

Willie Willette Works was founded by Willie Willette in 1996 with the intent of crafting beautiful, high-quality custom furniture. Since then, Willie and his team have designed and created one-of-a-kind pieces for thousands of residential and commercial clients out of their University Ave studio – always using the finest local materials, working closely with each client every step of the way, and prioritizing top-tier craftsmanship.

Willie cites three main influences on his style and work philosophy: his time as a student at St. John’s University, his six years of experience working for the Walker Art Center, and – perhaps most importantly – a mantra heard often on his grandfather’s farm in Olivia, MN: “Shut up and get to work!”
