Custom Fabrication, Millwork, and CNC Manufacturing

Works Progress is a Philadelphia-based design and fabrication studio blending traditional craftsmanship with advanced CNC technology to create custom millwork, branded environments, furniture, and specialty fabrication for architects, designers, brands, and business owners.

Custom Fabrication & Millwork

We design and build custom millwork, shelving, displays, casework, bars, and specialty architectural elements for interiors, branded spaces, and one-of-a-kind projects.

Branded Environments & Special Projects

From activations and installations to feature pieces and custom builds, we help bring ambitious concepts into the physical world with precision, creativity, and a problem-solving mindset.

CNC Routing & Digital Fabrication

Our in-house capabilities include 3-axis and 4-axis CNC machining, laser cutting and engraving, and digital fabrication for plywood, solid wood, plastics, and select non-ferrous metals.

Small Batch Production Furniture

We produce small batch furniture runs for designers, brands, hospitality spaces, and commercial environments. From prototype refinement to repeatable production, we focus on quality, consistency, and thoughtful fabrication for pieces that need to look sharp and hold up over time.

Our strength lies in versatility and innovation. We seamlessly blend traditional craftsmanship with advanced CNC technology, allowing us to operate at a high level across multiple industries. Rather than being limited to one niche, we specialize in solving complex design and production challenges, whether it’s custom furniture, branded environments, millwork, or one-of-a-kind architectural elements. As a small, agile team, we offer the flexibility, precision, and creativity needed to deliver high-end, out-of-the-box solutions that others can’t.
