We are Thanos & Vanessa Tzanopoulos, based in Crown Point, IN of the United States.
We built Meraki Customade in 2018 with a single vision— to bring Color and Soul to the art of woodworking.

​The philosophy of Meraki lives not just in our business, but in the way we live.

We appreciate the little things that make life enjoyable and meaningful — Like seeing the colors of the sky in that quiet moment just before sunrise, a fresh morning breeze on your skin, the smell of daisies drifting through a spring afternoon. The sound of laughter from a silly kid. The first bite of a meal made with love.

We build Meraki Customade because we care. Our goal is not to sell you a product.

But to create something Just for you, a Soulful piece that carries your favorite memory or feeling.
A gift you want to make to a Loved-One that is as strong in emotions, as the relationship you share.

We blend time-honored craftsmanship with modern materials and artistic integration to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are built to last, designed to captivate, and meant to transform any space they live in. Our wood selection is as unique as the pieces we build from it. We source exotic hardwoods from Africa, South America & Europe, alongside premium domestics from our beloved Midwest.

If you're looking for something with soul — a piece crafted with intention, rich in detail, and impossible to ignore — you're in the right place. Browse our collection and see if something speaks to you.
