about us
crafting environments that feel like home – from the inside out
at hillside designs az, we believe that the spaces we inhabit shape the lives we live. from our home studio and woodshop nestled in the foothills of south mountain, we handcraft heritage-quality furnishings and sensory-rich interiors that reflect your essence and invite intentional living.
we are artists, makers, and guides—creating more than just furniture or decor. we help you design environments that tell your story, evoke emotion, and support the way you truly want to live. whether it's a handcrafted heirloom bench, a custom cast jardinière for your plant babies, a vintage chair lovingly restored, or a soy candle infused with calming essential oils, each piece we craft is rooted in presence, purpose, and beauty.
we lean into the rhythms of slow living and simplicity. our work blends traditional craftsmanship with biophilic design and sensory awareness to bring nature, beauty, and harmony into your home—and into your inner life.
our philosophy
we believe in creating from the inside out. when your inner world is calm, your home can reflect that peace—and vice versa. our offerings are designed to support both: the physical spaces you dwell in, and the interior environment of your heart and mind.
we're here for those who care deeply about how they live, who choose meaning over mass-production, and who believe that home is both a sanctuary and a canvas for the soul.
whether you're a designer, a wellness seeker, or someone simply longing to live more intentionally, we invite you to partner with us—to create pieces and places that will hold your story for years to come.
our materials
we value fine craftsmanship which ensures each piece you acquire has been born from raw materials and will always be wholly unique. Over time they will form their character as they continue to age and patina.
we customize a blend of natural aggregate to create our concrete, which when cast result in unique jardinières, bowls, luminaires, and candles.
our woodenware is hand-crafted from rescued hardwood that’s been discarded or forgotten.
our hand-poured candles are 100 percent soy wax and scented with custom blends of all natural essential oils.
our invitation
each piece is designed to be distinctive. if you see something you love we recommend acquiring the piece, as we value individuality and will not create reproductions.
we periodically drop new collections. we invite designers and dwellers to join our community which provides early access to exclusive studio previews. we look forward to welcoming you into our environment as you navigate nurturing your own.
