Furniture, Seating and Lighting Design
Every space tells a story. And the right furniture and lighting are the punctuation marks that make that story memorable.
Rachel Blindauer understands that selecting or designing the perfect piece isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about creating something that feels like it belongs. Whether she’s designing a sculptural armchair for a serene retreat, or developing an entire lighting collection for a national brand, Rachel brings a thoughtful, refined eye to every detail.
As both an interior designer and experienced product designer, Rachel develops custom furniture and lighting for private clients, boutique hotels, builders, and large retailers alike. Her bespoke rugs, sofas, mirrors, chandeliers, and accent pieces are often featured in her interior design projects—like the richly layered Lilac Textural Glamour—and in the products she’s created for top furniture brands.
If you’re seeking a custom piece for your home, launching a furniture line, or need help refining an idea into a market-ready product, schedule a consultation to get started.
Design Expertise Meets Commercial Experience
Rachel served as the Assistant Vice President of Design for Gabby, a transitional furniture brand working with natural materials like vellum, rattan, and reclaimed wood. There, she led the design of collections that felt timeless but fresh—pulling from historical references and architectural shapes, while always considering the modern lifestyle.
Rachel has also designed for Williams Sonoma Inc., creating over 800+ pieces of lighting, seating, decor, and furniture designs for the brand—work that reached homes across the country and helped shape the visual language of some of America’s most recognized brands.
WHAT I DO:
This page is just a small window into the 1,000+ furniture, seating, lighting, and decor pieces I’ve designed. I also create bespoke rugs, sofas, mirrors, and lighting for my interior design clients—each piece tailored to the room and the person it’s made for.
Take a look at the Lilac Textural Glamour project to see custom lighting and furnishings in context.
WHAT I CAN DO FOR YOU:
Whether you’re a furniture brand developing a new line, a builder furnishing a unique property, or someone with a tricky nook that needs just the right table—I can help.
I work with:
• Furniture retailers and resellers
• Factories and manufacturers looking to expand their line
• Architects, developers, builders and hospitality companies
• Homeowners who need one perfect, impossible-to-find piece
Not quite sure what you need yet? That’s okay. Let’s schedule a time to talk, and I’ll help you figure it out.
HOW IT WORKS:
We Talk – You tell me what you need, what your style is, who the target market is, your goal product price point and functional goals.
I Design – I begin with initial sketches and ideas.
We Refine – We go back and forth via email until the piece feels right. I can create hand sketches, CADs, and 3D models depending on your needs.
You Produce (Or I Can Help) – If you need help sourcing, I’ll connect you to my favorite factories and craftsmen—or I can guide the full sample process for you.
