About Tessa

Tessa Livingston-Pooley Designs

Structurally honest plywood furniture.

We design flat-pack, interlocking furniture to engineered tolerances of tenths of a millimeter. No hidden screws, no veneer tricks, just pure structural logic.

Engineered tolerances

Exposed edge grain

Our designs achieve sub-millimeter precision. Our friction-fit joinery eliminates the need for hidden fasteners, celebrating the raw, structural beauty of layered birch plywood.

Every interlocking joint is cut by CNC digital fabrication, then carefully sanded and finished by hand to ensure a perfect, tool-free assembly that ensures durability.
