Small business revolution ARTICLE →
From Small Business Revolution: “Willie and his team thrive on providing their clients with something they never thought they could have. He calls it ‘the Jaw Drop,’ but adds, ‘the real secret is the fact that we work our asses off.’ He believes in gathering wood and other materials locally and doing things the right way.”
GOOD chair project →
In 2016, the Minneapolis Good Chair Project was founded in partnership with the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board “on the premise that you can make life better and build community simply by adding some comfortable, movable seating to outdoor spaces.” Now, over 30 ‘good chairs’, custom designed and built from white oak by Willie Willette Works, can be found in parks, communities, and lakeshores throughout Minneapolis.
Clockwork table storyboard →
The Clockwork Table was built in 2009 for a client who wanted a conference table that extended from oblong into a T shape in order to make video presentation viewing easier for their company. Visit the visual story board to see how we made it, from sketch to fully built and on site.
