About Us
More Comfort Every Day
At Design NS, we believe that great furniture isn’t just something you use—it’s something you experience. For over four generations, our family-run business has been dedicated to creating custom furniture that marries timeless craftsmanship with timeless design.
From our factory in Boca Raton, Florida, every piece we create is handcrafted in the USA with meticulous attention to detail.
Our legacy began in Finland with Tarmo Makela, fondly known as the “Millimeter Man” for his obsession with precision. His passion for quality furniture was passed down through the generations, bringing us to today, where Kai Makela carries on the tradition of designing and building furniture that’s as functional as it is beautiful.

At Design NS, every piece is built specifically for you. From sofas and sectionals to chairs, beds, and ottomans,
we offer complete customization options to ensure each item fits your unique needs. Choose from:
A wide range of premium fabrics
and European leathers in every
imaginable color and texture.
Customizable dimensions to suit
your space perfectly.
Motorized features like headrests,

Whether you're furnishing a cozy living room or outfitting a private home theater, we work with you to design pieces that are stylish, functional, and tailored to your lifestyle.
Comfort You Can Feel, Craftsmanship You Can Trust
Our furniture isn’t just designed to look good—it’s built for real life. We adhere to strict guidelines for how each piece “sits,” testing for comfort that minimizes stress on your lower back and enhances relaxation. Our passion for perfection is evident in every detail:
Hardwood frames, handcrafted to ensure durability and longevity.

A relentless focus on comfort, because we know that style means nothing without it.
