Our Team
Outre’s private manufacturer, Mastercraft Inc., consistently employs over 250 devoted and skilled craftsmen who are always helping The Outré Team to make sure we meet our deadlines. Below are just a few that are involved in Outré projects on a daily basis.
Eric Reynolds

After graduating from Butler University in 2005, Eric decided to stay in Central Indiana and to bring his family’s furniture company to a new market. Working during the summer in the manufacturing plant gave Eric a firm understanding of the furniture making process and a desire to continue his family’s legacy in creating custom furniture. Eric is responsible for the studio at The Indiana Design Center and the growth of Outré.
