Modern Craftsman, Inc. is a unique company specializing in the creation of hand-crafted, functional works of art primarily from concrete, wood, and metal. Founded by Tyler Thomas Blaine, the company blends artistic design with solid engineering, resulting in bespoke products tailored to the specific needs of each client. Inspired by his father's architectural concrete structures and mentored by skilled craftsmen, Tyler emphasizes the importance of sustainability and quality in his work. He employs locally-sourced, earth-friendly materials and practices to create sophisticated, eco-conscious products such as OrganiCrete® concrete countertops and IronClad® patina fireplaces.
The philosophy at Modern Craftsman revolves around merging artistry with functionality. Tyler combines his extensive background in various disciplines—including architecture, geology, and furniture making—to build products that are not just aesthetically pleasing but also durable and practical. By implementing a “root to the fruit” business model, the company acts as a one-stop shop, handling everything from design to installation without the need for multiple providers. This streamlined process benefits clients looking for customized solutions that elevate their spaces into artistic and functional masterpieces.
Through ongoing education and rigorous testing of techniques and materials, Modern Craftsman seeks to push the boundaries of design while maintaining the integrity of each raw material. Every project aims to showcase the honesty of its components without unnecessary manipulation, celebrating their natural beauty. The result is not just a product but an authentic experience that transforms spaces, making every piece a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship that defines Modern Craftsman.
