“My simple goal: an heirloom quality piece that reflects you, the space it inhabits, and the Pacific Northwest spirit—ready to become part of your life for decades to come.”
Collaborative Furniture Design
The success of Thomas Lutz Furniture lies in a design process that blends each client’s vision with Tom’s refined sense of aesthetics and craftsmanship—whether creating something entirely new or refining an existing design.

"Over the years, I've found that good design begins with listening. By hearing each client's needs and aesthetic, my designs ultimately balance function, form, and a sense of place."
“I draw inspiration from minimalist form—clean lines, expressive grain, and the quiet beauty revealed through simple oil and wax finishes. I often add tactile accents through exposed joinery, hand-hewn textures, sea stones, metal, textiles, or even the transformative touch of fire.”

After 32 years living on Lummi Island, he finds it difficult to imagine living anywhere else.”

“We renovated our entire home and dealt with every trade, contractor, and craftsperson you might run across in the process. I can say without a doubt that Tom was the best of them all. He's as much a thoughtful and interesting person as he is a master at his craft. It goes without saying that we loved the entire process and the finished product. Tom kept us up to date with details throughout the entire process that made it feel like a real experience and not just a trip to a high end furniture store. Count yourself as a lucky one if Tom agrees to take on your project.” - PHILLIP ARAM - Seattle, WA, Slab dining table.
