JOHN CORTESE
SHOP MANAGER
John is a skilled craftsman with a keen design eye who has taken his talents to 15|40 as our fearless Shop Manager. Like with most craftsmen, you can tell a lot about him by looking at his workshop table. At John's, you'll find a stunning array of Japanese hand tools from his apprenticeship with a violin maker. You'll also find books filled with a vast photography collection from his days as a professional in NYC and LA and even more books filled with awe-inspiring furniture pieces he's designed and built with his own company for over 25 years. With such a vibrant history, John became a part of the family quickly and continues to show us new and innovative ways to create.
