"Take your pleasure seriously."

Hello! I'm Therese, the Founder of Victor & Theo. I've always loved design and handmade objects, so after practicing architecture for nearly two decades, the pull to start this studio became too great to ignore. I started making things for myself at first -- pieces of furniture, sustainable wallets, and office accessories. I was pleasantly surprised to find that others liked them too, so I started showcasing and selling my work at art fairs and markets.

Victor & Theo is a small business. So small in fact, that it's just me! I am many departments: design, production, shipping, and marketing. I've learned to pace myself because intentional design takes time, and the things that take time are work waiting for. The studio typically produces work on a small-batch basis. On occasion, we'll get a corporate order or prepare for a show and I get to have some company in the shop.

I appreciate the support many people have given me through the purchase of my work. Each piece is designed thoughtfully and handcrafted with locally-sourced materials. I am proud of the collections on this site, and I hope to share more with you soon.
