A small operation with big intentions.

alined design is built on the notion of modern tradition: the union of quality craftsmanship and relevant design. Blending influence from 1970’s Scandinavian design, traditional woodworking joinery, and modern, everyday life, alined design aims to produce pieces for real life.


alined design was founded by me, Aaron Sachs, on the basis of designing interesting and well-built furniture pieces for the everyday. With experience as a design engineer, fabricator, and installer in the Chicago custom furniture industry for 5+ years, I’ve learned so many different ways to love what I do.

I believe there is beauty in simplicity. It is always a goal to keep materials as local as possible and design in harmony with fabrication methods; leave nothing unconsidered.
