Walnut Studiolo crafts original modern designs by hand in our Oregon workshop using only natural materials. We are a family-run company located on the North Oregon Coast.

How did it all begin? In a walnutshell, it started with Geoffrey Franklin's 1978 Bianchi road bike. Biking to work every day in Portland, Oregon inspired Geoffrey to customize his ride. When he couldn't find what he was looking for, he decided to create his own unique designs using leather. In 2009, his wife Valerie opened a store on Etsy, and Walnut Studiolo was born. Read more.
