Speaking from her wood shop in a Cincinnati warehouse, designer Rosie Kovacs
needs to step into a side room to take a phone call. As her and her partner
Hayes Shanesy, who started the furniture and design firm Brush Factory in
Cincinnati in 2009, gear up to release a new line of minimalist furniture, the
shop floor tends to get a little loud.
When they started out, as she explains, they didn’t have a firm handle on
direction; Kovacs, a fashion design major, and Shanesy, an industrial designer,
started a retail store that didn’t work out, then turned to what became a
successful wholesale commercial furniture, grabbing attention nationally for
their line of , such as necklaces and bottle stops made from hardwood.
The duo has been able to realize their desire to create a consumer line
of furniture after winning , a grant program from Cincinnati-based non-profit
ArtWorks. Their forthcoming BFF line (prices will range from $400 to $2,white
outdoor furniture,800 depending on style and finish), which will be
available nationwide via their website starting in May, exudes Shaker influences
along with nods to modern minimalism. The group’s first collection, simple
pieces with a light footprint that are easy to move, is currently limited to
tables and desks, but they plan to expand with new items roughly every six
months. With everything under one roof,furniture outlet stores, Brush Factory can
prototype and implement new concepts relatively quickly. The next step,
introducing seating, and possibly opening a store and a storeroom, are part of
the long-term plans.
"We’re trying to recreate Old Time Colonial vibes with modern styling,"
Kovacs says. "We want furniture buying to be fun and not so serious; it’s in the
name of the line."
