I'm Danielle, the hands and face behind Of Interest.

I spent years as a welder and furniture maker before I started curating and selling it. That background means I know what quality looks like—real materials, solid construction, craftsmanship that lasts decades, not seasons. I can spot the difference between furniture that photographs well and furniture that lives well.

I started this because I kept seeing the same problem: people living in spaces that look like everyone else's, not because they lack personality themselves, but because they've been conditioned to play it safe. The furniture industry pushes mass-market sameness and pieces that fall apart in five years (if you're lucky). Meanwhile, people are craving authenticity, quality, and homes that reflect what they actually like.

Here's the thing—you shouldn't have to choose between "interesting" and "well-made." You can totally have both.
