31 & Change is a Chicago-based furniture company that designs with a twist, a wink and a smile in mind. Each piece is hand crafted from American hardwoods and built in the company’s Chicago studio. It’s founded and run by Kurt Lenard, whose experience as a Graphic Designer and Creative Director influences the bold - colorful nature of the work. 31 & Change creates memorable pieces that blend urban undertones with the rustic nature of the great outdoors - a little something we like to call “Urban Rustic.”

What we do


What we do


We create one-of-a-kind pieces and limited run production pieces. Each piece created has its own unique graphic expression, whether seen through the wood grain, the juxtaposition of color or the combination of materials. Every piece is built with the highest regard for craftsmanship and quality so that not only you but your future generations can enjoy it as well.

After spending six years in Brooklyn we’re headed back to where we came from: Chicago. It’s been 12 years since we called Chicago home and we’re more excited than ever to call it home once again. The shop dust has finally cleared and we are excited to launch our eCommerce page. Thank you for all the support and patience through out our move back home.

31 & Trees


31 & Trees


Trees are like nature’s nose hairs. The importance of what trees give us cannot be overstated, not only do trees provide oxygen for us, they clean the air we breathe and the earth we walk on. Needless to say, for a furniture maker trees hold an even greater significance.

So, for every piece of furniture we sell, and you buy, we will donate 2 trees (one for you, one for us) to the National Forest Foundation. It’s our way of giving back to something that has given us so much.
