Handcrafted heirloom furniture
MY MISSION.
Welcome to New Prairie Custom Furnishings. My name is Michael de Groot.

For over 15 years, I have been creating unique heirloom-quality furniture pieces from my workshop in Oak Park Illinois. Inspired by the timeless elegance of Prairie-style architecture and the clean lines of mid-century modern design, each creation reflects a deep commitment to artistry, durability, and personalized service.
I believe furniture should do more than fill a space—it should tell a story, reflect individuality, and last for generations. From concept to completion, I work closely with clients to design and build pieces that bring their vision to life. No mass production, no shortcuts—just authentic craftsmanship and attention to detail in every cut, joint, and finish.

I am dedicated to handcrafting pieces to meet your individual specifications. Some of my designs are crafted in pieces for ease of movement and assembly. I take pride in creating unique, high-quality furniture that stands out in any space.
