Carley, Wood Associates

Carley, Wood Associates, Inc. was founded in 1982 by Robin Carley for the design and manufacture of custom executive furniture. Our passion for fine furniture has expanded to include high-end millwork, historic restoration, curved woodwork, and carved architectural details. We designed our state-of-the-art facility so that our skilled project teams can oversee large, complex projects in-house from start to finish.

CWAI is committed to the highest in quality architectural millwork and has won many awards for fine craftsmanship. Selected awards include a contractor award for the Capital Assembly Chamber — AIA, a contract design award for Visa Lighting — ASID, Liberty Bank — ASID, and a certificate of merit for the Dr. Thomas Schinabeck Table from Madison Magazine.

Facility

Our facility allows us the flexibility to accommodate a wide variety of unique projects. Specialized machines and tools allow Carley, Wood Associates, Inc. to incorporate hand-craftsmanship with the latest in technology. We can lay out and pre-assemble all of our components to assure an exacting fit and sequence match before installation. We do our own finishing using a dust-free, temperature controlled system.

By controlling all essential facets of each project, we are able to ensure the architect that their design and functional intents have been fulfilled and give the customer the pride of a personal value purchase that will stand the test of time.
