Linden Street Design

Well the shop as changed location but this is the best high end furniture makers in town. Contact em though the web site and talk to tad — this guy will make you the best piece of furniture possible, with high end materials, linden delivers, and won’t skimp!

AKA the custom furniture shop behind Blue Bottle. I was just enjoying an orgasmic cappuccino one fine morning when I randomly asked the dude with big green earmuffs and a power drill behind the counter what was going on back there and if he could give me a brochure or something on his furniture.
Well, as soon as I said that Tad invited me on back and busted out his «look book» showcasing all the beautiful pieces his shop has done, each one unique. Big slabs of finely finished wood with chunky exposed metal supports. I’d call it «cyborg furniture», or maybe, «industrial woodcraft». I like the style, and it’s *perfect* for the concrete shoebox lofts around town.
Tad must have shot the shit with me for 40 minutes, and believe me, I do not exactly give off a daddy warbucks vibe ($ 4 cappuccino notwithstanding). He’s just an earnest and passionate man about his craft.
Then he pulls out quite possibly the coolest thing in his shop or that I have ever seen — his «Lifetime Free Blue Bottle» card. I’m like, put that away, do you want to get *stabbed*?!
