Tampa, Florida — Est. 2019
The house
Our story
A small house with a long view.
LEANNA HOLLIS began in 2019 with one sofa and a rented corner of a woodshop in Tampa. The idea was simple: make the pieces we wanted to live with, and make them properly enough that we never had to make them again.
Seven years later we work with four workshops across three countries. We still draw everything ourselves, still visit every maker, and still refuse to release a piece until it has been in someone's home for a season.
We are deliberately small. Twelve pieces a season, a handful of finishes, no seasonal churn. If something works, we keep making it.
Materials
FSC-certified oak and walnut, European linen, Portuguese stoneware, unlacquered brass. We choose materials that mark, patina and improve — not ones that need protecting.
Makers
Four workshops: a family mill in Porto, a metal shop outside Milan, a pottery in Stoke, and a two-bench woodshop in Ybor City. Named on every product page.
Longevity
Every piece can be repaired. We keep replacement cushions, slats, shades and glazes in stock for a decade, and we'll always tell you how to fix something before we sell you a new one.
“We are not trying to fill a house. We are trying to furnish a life, slowly.”Leanna Hollis, Founder
The workshops
Four benches, three countries.
Our upholstery is cut and sewn in Porto by a workshop that has been in the same family since 1974. The brass is bent outside Milan. The stoneware is thrown in Stoke-on-Trent. The oak is milled in Florida, a mile from the studio.
We pay for the time it takes. That is the whole business model.
Work with usThe studio
Open by appointment.
The Tampa studio holds the full collection, the material library, and a very large table. Come and sit on things. We'll put the kettle on.
