Anees Furniture & Design

Join us for Meet the Makers, a special program that celebrates the artistry, craftsmanship, and stories behind exceptional design. This edition introduces Anees Jaber, the visionary behind Anees Upholstery, a renowned, family-owned furniture company based in Chicago, Illinois. For over 28 years, Anees and his team have been creating bespoke, handcrafted furniture that blends timeless techniques with modern sophistication. Every piece is made locally in their Chicago workshop, where attention to detail, quality materials, and personalized service are the foundation of their work. This is more than a look behind the scenes—it's a conversation about what it means to make something by hand in today’s world. You'll learn about Anees’s journey as a designer and manufacturer, his approach to collaboration, and the legacy of craft that runs through his family business. Whether you're a design enthusiast, industry professional, or simply curious about the people behind the products, Meet the Makers offers a rare, intimate introduction to the creative minds shaping the spaces we live in.
