About the Builder
iYF Studio began with a simple thought: “I think I can make that.”
After getting his first laser in May 2025, Norm started experimenting with designs in his Barrie workshop. While building an early prototype of a miniature Muskoka chair, he held the unfinished pieces together and had the idea that would define the product:
“This should hold a beer.”
That small design change turned a simple wooden chair into a functional conversation piece — and the foundation for what would become the iYF Mini Muskoka Chair.
Today, iYF Studio creates laser-crafted products designed to be both useful and memorable. From personalized slate coasters to custom gifts and keepsakes, every piece is designed, cut, and assembled in Barrie, Ontario with a focus on craftsmanship, creativity, and products people enjoy using every day.
Crafted to be kept.
