S. Lloyd Natof established SL Natof Furniture in 1989 as a custom woodworking design and fabrication shop. The shop's work has included residential furniture, corporate office suites, liturgical furniture and retail fixtures. In addition to custom commissions, SL Natof provides high-end fabrication work for Chicago architects and designers. 2003 saw the creation of the J-line collection: furniture designed with clean simple lines and built with highly figured, beautifully finished woods.

Lloyd specializes in veneered freestanding casework.

 'I am looking for ways to bring Art Nouveau sensibilities to more modern forms. The dramatic elegance of Art Nouveau curves, materials and finishes has long appealed to me; these elements nicely compliment modern forms.'
