Meet The Makers

Benita Cooper and Louie Andracchio

Hi! We’re Benita and Louie - two friends who love to make furniture together.

You may know us from Benita Cooper Design and Timber Forge Woodworks.

We met back in 2018 when we were both hired by a major commercial client team to collaborate on designing new hospitality spaces (Benita) and fabricating unique features (Louie) for one of Philly’s most iconic historical buildings, The Divine Lorraine.  Somehow our clients knew we would hit it off, and they were right!

We began our own furniture collaborative venture soon after by making our first custom table for a loyal repeat BCD & CFM residential client. While tables continue to be our favorite things to make, our collection has since grown to includes signage, shelving and more. Coop Forge Mobile is our chance to combine our passions and skills to execute at a high level together. When you choose us to design and build your furniture or signage, we will get to know you personally. You and your pieces will receive our genuine care and attention.

“Working with Benita and Louie was an absolute joy! With a focus on quality materials and an eye for detailed design, they created two unique pieces for my home that are not only beautiful but durable for an active family. I get so many compliments on both pieces!”

“It was so fun to work with Benita and Louie! Benita took my idea of what I wanted in my office retail space and designed the perfect custom furniture that I could never buy at a store. The team created multiple staff stations, a feature coworking table, a beverage station and an exterior sign that all match and coordinated with her architectural and interior design of our office - even adding custom branding to some pieces! The final products were made extremely well and have a very high-end look to them. I highly recommend Benita and Louie.”
