nolostudios began with a simple idea: that the end of a tree’s life doesn’t have to mean the end of its story
as traverse city natives, we've witnessed firsthand how many timeless, beautiful trees are removed for one reason or another. it's a shame to see the millable lumber chipped, discarded, or stacked in a field to sit and decay. so we built something better: a full-circle process where suitable trees are honored, repurposed, and given new life.
from removal, to milling, to design, build, and final installation - every stage of the process is performed here in the greater traverse city area. that means when you welcome a piece from nolostudios into your home or business, you’re bringing in a part of the land, the neighborhood, and the community.
each piece can be traced back to the neighborhood or area from which the tree lived. every piece carries its history forward - made for generations to come.
how it works
- removal – we oversee proper removal of the tree, ensuring it’s handled with care from the very beginning.
- milling – each log is milled locally, preserving its unique character and story.
- design & craft – our in-house team handcrafts each piece into heirloom-quality furniture and functional art.
- installation – finally, we bring the finished work into your home or business, where its new life begins.
your home deserves a story
every nolostudios piece is one-of-a-kind. more than décor, it’s a legacy of northern michigan’s natural beauty - crafted to live on for generations.
