About
Schleeh Design
Where Art Meets Craftsmanship
At Schleeh Design INC., we don’t just make furniture — we craft stories in wood, metal, cement, and more. Based in Montreal, Quebec, our studio has spent decades creating one‑of‑a‑kind sculptural objects, handcrafted furniture, and innovative accessories for clients around the world.
We are more than designers and makers; we are collaborators, artists, and problem‑solvers. Every piece we create is guided by a simple philosophy: form and function should exist in harmony, and design should be as individual as the people who experience it.
Our work can be found in galleries, retail spaces, offices, and private residences across Canada, Europe, Asia, and the U.S. — a testament to our commitment to excellence and originality.

Our Story
Schleeh Design was born out of a desire to push the limits of traditional furniture‑making. Founder Colin Schleeh envisioned a studio where artistic expression, material exploration, and fine craftsmanship could coexist in every creation.
From our earliest days, we’ve been driven by curiosity. We ask: What happens when we combine brushed metal with sycamore wood? How can a desktop pad become a sculpture? What does a dining table look like when it becomes a piece of art?
That curiosity has led to signature designs like our Embracelets, Morph Pads, and Bachelor Pads — along with countless custom projects that challenge conventions and redefine what furniture and objects can be.
Our Philosophy: No Templates. No Mass Production.
In a world where so much is mass‑produced, Schleeh Design stands apart. We never repeat designs unless specifically requested. Each project is custom‑built, with its own personality, story, and purpose.
Our process combines:
-
Material exploration: From cement to 35 mm film stock, we experiment with textures, finishes, and forms.
-
Functional artistry: Every piece — whether a gallery‑ready sculpture or a corporate desk accessory — is designed to serve a purpose while sparking conversation.
-
Collaboration: We work hand‑in‑hand with clients, designers, and architects to bring ideas to life.
This approach ensures that every object we create isn’t just functional but deeply personal and expressive.
What We Create
Custom Furniture
We design and build residential and commercial furniture that blends sculptural artistry with everyday usability. Whether it’s a statement dining table, a set of retail fixtures, or gallery‑worthy installations, our pieces are built to enhance spaces while reflecting the personality of those who use them.
Sculptural Objects & Accessories
From wearable art like Embracelets to desktop sculptures like Morph Pads, we create objects that blur the line between art and utility. Our accessories are crafted by hand and made to be enjoyed, displayed, and talked about.
Corporate Gifts
Our corporate gifting services go beyond the ordinary. We help businesses make lasting impressions through custom‑designed gifts — whether it’s a set of branded Morph Pads or an entirely new concept developed just for your company.
Our Materials: Exploring the Unexpected
One of the hallmarks of Schleeh Design is our willingness to experiment with materials. We work with:
-
Wood: Walnut, cherry, maple, sycamore, and more.
-
Metals: Brushed steel, custom finishes, and hybrid compositions.
-
Cement & Resin: For bold, industrial‑inspired creations.
-
Film & Paper: 35 mm film stock and layered paper for truly unconventional designs.
This diversity of mediums allows us to constantly evolve our craft and deliver pieces that are impossible to replicate.
Our Process: Collaborative by Design
We know that the best designs come from listening and understanding. That’s why every project begins with a conversation.
-
Consultation: We get to know your vision, space, and goals.
-
Design & Concepting: Our team develops ideas, exploring shapes, textures, and materials.
-
Craftsmanship: Each piece is handmade in our Montreal studio, with a focus on quality and detail.
-
Delivery: We ensure your custom piece arrives safely and exceeds your expectations.
Throughout this journey, we encourage feedback and collaboration — because your input helps shape the final design.
