Founded by Louisiana-native Alex Geriner, Doorman is a line of handcrafted furniture pieces designed and built in the colorful city of New Orleans. Nestled against the banks of the Mississippi River, the Doorman workshop seamlessly crafts its rich cultural heritage into its designs, celebrating the unique dichotomy of tradition and modernity in the 300-year-old city.
Doorman was born in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when Alex salvaged an old cypress door from a flooded historic New Orleans home and transformed it into a headboard. This act of reuse still drives the ethos of the brand. Today, each piece is thoughtfully designed and handcrafted by Alex and his skillful team of makers.
Their dedication to building the next generation of antiques also drives their view of sustainability. By prioritizing natural, clean materials, and reusing wood to reduce waste, they are committed to implementing innovative processes, while honoring the past and future preservation of Southern Louisiana.
