Last Ditch Design Releases Its First Collection by Todd Hewitt

“Each design is built for those not just interested in how things look, but how they work, wear, and feel every day that you live with it,” said Todd Hewitt, founder and designer, Last Ditch Design, of the brand’s debut collection. After years spent working behind the scenes in design, engineering, production, and operations for luxury brands such as Henrybuilt and Lawson-Fenning, Hewitt is proud to launch this collection. He’s designed, engineered, and fabricated each piece himself, thanks to a boatload of knowledge earned over more than 27 years in the furniture design and production industries.

Bringing together the trifecta of mid-century, Scandinavian, and contemporary design, the collection features tailor-made products that go above trends to stand the test of time through exquisite craftsmanship carried out at Last Ditch Design’s Los Angeles workshop. Functionality, clean lines, sculpted forms are seamlessly blended using traditional hand-craftsmanship.

The collection features beds, seating, storage options, tables, desks, and mirrors that incorporate mixed materials and textures, all with the flexibility to suit individual project needs. These warm designs have a simplistic, natural beauty that’s ideal for use in luxury commercial, hospitality, and residential design.

Hewitt is also conscious of the brand’s relationship with lumber and the forests that provide it, using only FSC certified wood that’s sourced responsibly and sustainably. Each product is made with the lowest minimum tolerances for waste, with an ongoing search for new ways to reduce further still and dispose of unavoidable waste responsibly.

Last Ditch Design has partnered with One Tree Planted to reduce the carbon footprint and plant more trees. When you place an order, 25 trees will be planted in your name and in the location of your choice.
