About Us
Our Mission
Our Mission is to design and create mirrors, frames, and other home goods to stay in line with the evolving style of the modern home. We believe style and quality must go hand in hand to ensure the restoration of balance in American creativity and
manufacturing.
Our customers work very hard for themselves and their loved ones and we are honored when they choose to buy our products. We show our appreciation in the detail and care we put into every purchase. All products are made to order and
made to last.
The two of us design, create, and produce every item in our store. We give every piece the same amount of love and intensity as the next. Our custom orders are designed to match our clients' needs to the most exact specifications as possible.
Our quality goods are a symbol of pride in ourselves and our work. We want our hard working customers to get what they deserve when they shop with Dot & Rose.
Our History
Dot and Rose is a husband and wife team based out of Pittsburgh, PA.
We moved to Chicago in 2014 together after graduate school. Shortly after moving, we started tinkering out of a one car garage with everything from aquaponic structures to hanging planters. All tinkering and time spent was based on two ideas; the ability to be creative and independent. We wanted to create but also provide function in our creations.
We worked with CPS, Royal Palms Shuffleboard, and other local businesses as our ideas grew and took a more concrete shape. We moved into a large wood shop in 2019 where we honed our skills into mirror cutting and finer carpentry.
In 2020, Nate, our third business partner during this time, stayed in Chicago to teach, while we moved the business home to Pittsburgh, PA.
We are currently working out of a peaceful shop along the Ohio river. Our tinkering has become a passion and our skills have grown into a professional undertaking.
We work side by side creating, building, perfecting, and eventually shipping our work all across the country. We stay driven by a need for creativity and independence. We believe goods made with pride is our contribution to a recreation of the handmade American community.
Love,
Trav and Al
