Chesser- Schacht design

Bill Schacht and Lynda Chesser founded the international “Chesser Schacht Design” studio in 1990. Together they restored their 1923 Mediterranean-style brick home. Whether designing customized storm windows, refinishing chandeliers for weeks, or discovering, under layers of paint, a door with hammered black pewter hinges and textured brass knobs, their work is precise, their ideas original. So it may come as a surprise that Lynda and Bill also love to design furniture for mass production. "I love the challenge of the manufacturing process—the forming of parts, the tooling, the fitting together of those parts," says Bill. "We get to solve complex problems in order to make something manufacturable, and we get to solve complex problems for the people who will use the furniture."
