RECENTLY COMPLETED: Stumptown Division

This summer, MADE was hired to re-vamp Stumptown Coffee Roasters' original Portland location on SE Division. The space had endured 10 years of abuse, and had some challenges with customer flow. With light modifications to the floor-plan, and a fresh take on materials and furnishings, we were able to visually open up the space, create more room for customers, and build in new coffee merchandising and storage solutions.


Modifications to the floor-plan included installing the cabinetry and display seen in the back left corner.


The bar face is made from Oregon white oak. We re-sawed the veneer from wind-fallen and diseased trees.

We also removed an old raised platform in the space and replaced it with a window counter and standing bar.

In the adjacent room, we installed two of our block tables, as well as two full-length wall mounted benches. The glass garage door is also new, and provides as much natural light as Portland will give us.

Salinas Desk

Hello Salinas Desk, our newest creation! The desk is on view at Show PDX: Opening reception tonight, and on display through the month: showpdx

The desk is constructed of two opposing bent laminations.


The full-extension drawer lives neatly inside the shape created by the undulations of the top. Behind the drawer, a removable face reveals a power strip and networking hub for powering and networking your electronics.


The desk measures 61" long by 30" deep, which should be plenty of space for writing, computing, and general grinding away!


Ahhh, the drawer. We really love the simplicity of this piece.
