The Shop

In-House Objects is an extension of Make Tank Design Collaborative, which is focuses on prototyping and limited edition high end design. Make Tank was founded by Shaun Bullens in 2014. In-House Objects launched in 2023 as Make Tank’s in-house line designed by Bullens.

Our process integrates classic woodworking methods with contemporary design and technology. We avoid trends in favor of craft and listening to the material.

Bolstered by an atmosphere of learning and experimentation, the making of each piece is the result of intense collaboration.
