An open letter to those interested in Kaufer Company Design Services:

Kaufer’s has participated in numerous projects in the Northwest involving the design and fabrication of church furnishings and art. We offer both custom and stock designs and original works of art that complement and enhance their respective environments. Some of the custom furnishings we have provided include

Altar; Ambo; Chair; Ambry; Baptismal font; Processional cross; Paschal and altar candlesticks; Tabernacle.

We also represent pew and chair manufacturers, woodcarvers and marble artisans in Italy, vestment makers, interior color and design consultants, stained glass studios, and liturgical artists in virtually all mediums. After 100 years in business (1904-2004) Kaufer’s has developed an extensive network to serve the churches’ needs.

My own involvement has spanned more than 30 years; I have worked with pastors and committees of varied denominations. Some of Kaufer’s projects in recent years are listed on the next page.

Kaufer’s also has an ongoing working partnership with liturgical designer Rogers Hornsby of Chicago, who is responsible for the design, fabrication, and installation of liturgical art and furnishings in over 600 churches around the country, and an exclusive partnership with A. Anderson Wood Studio. Pictures available of much of these works on request.

I would be more than happy to explore any and all possibilities with you.

Sincerely,

Ed Sinclair

Owner/Manager
