Who: Northern California furniture designer Alice Tacheny founded her studio only two years ago. She specializes in simple, clean-lined pieces that she makes in her workshop or in collaboration with Bay Area craftspeople.
What: Tacheny's line has recently expanded to include what she dubs “a small collection of useful and beautiful objects” for the home.
Insider Scoop: Tacheny never formally studied design. The biblical studies major took a woodworking course after college graduation and honed her design skills at Blu Dot, in Minneapolis, and later at Target.
