Roses Buffet Console
The roses in this piece were designed as a sculpture
to be applied on the “canvas” formed by the front of the console
built to accompany our roses table.
The treatment of the console roses is different from the those
in the table making the two pieces a coherent set
of distinctly asymmetrical components;
different flower shapes, branches, roots and stages of bloom.
Initially we wanted the front of the console in glass
so as to be looking into a window thru a rose bush.
But the art of the hand forged piece was so good
its reflection in the glass was a distraction, making the piece busy.
So we ended with our original design intention of making the console
the canvas of the sculptured rose tree.

Orchid Table
This piece is a unique piece in a sense that it reminds us of art nouveau, yet it is not . Its legs have the shape of deers legs yet they are thoroughly modern. And the top has carved orchids which give it a very feminine touch. Yet when you look you canât place her in any style. And thatâs the mystery which makes me like it. Construction Notes: The four corners of the skirt and its legs of the table are all joined in a 45 degree angle fit. The frame is square and in the interior is oval. The oval is the frame that holds a oval beveled glass . There are three orchids carved in each of the four corners. The skirt also has carved cut-out orchids. To get the deer like legs, whose top are hollowed inside, our carver has to do his magic in all four of them. Dimensions: 31" height x 42" length x 18" widthProduct details...

Metal Shards Mirror
All damsels in distress long to be saved by a prince in shining armor while, at the same time, longing for self sufficient independence. This perennial dichotomy prompted the design. The round shape frame emulates a lifesaver. The cone-shaped medieval nails symbolize the wounds of life. Yet, the distribution of the shards in a crown symbolize our triumph in life. Because at the end, when the independence illusion is transcended, we are all winners. Dimensions: 40" circumference Biggest thorn 6"Product details...
Palazzo Mirror
Most world argue that the object of a mirror is reflection, but how that reflection is framed is what we pursued in this minimalistic expression of imperial french design. Dimension: 36"w x 6"d x 60"hProduct details...
Downtown High Boy Dresser
Even though traditionally we tend to veer away from square boxes and linear furniture, this variation on the Chinese box was irresistible. The piece it is composed of eight drawers, a number whose symbol is used to denote infinity and is easy to remember. Its drawers increment in size from top to bottom so as to allow proper storage of mostly everything . The legs are hand forged metal braces that hug the wood structure making the piece virtually unbreakable, and its pullers are hand forged metal tear drops. Construction Notes: The dovetail technique is characteristic of our drawer assembly which in this case uses 3/4 inch cedar. The sliders are heavy duty so you can stuff to your hearts content, and all the wood is hand rubbed.... our signature finish .Product details...

Pineapple Patron Desk
This one of a kind piece is stunning, thus one of my favorites. I think that anybody that looks at the piece, particularly is they are knowledgeable on woodworking, will conclude we can do anything in wood. So it is a presentation piece of our capacities. Designed for a customer with a very elegant lifestyle, we were given the resources and a freedom to dream up and execute the piece. Prior to the commission for the desk we had already developed the pineapple design as a prototype for the base for a dining table. We wanted the design to be recognizably a pineapple without being literal. So we made a diamonds shaped abstraction of the fruitâs eyelets, removed its eyes and kept the leaves as the crown for supporting the top. The original prototype had three legs, but because this version was going to carry significantly more weight we gave the desk two four legged bases, more than enough for the working and storage areas the client wanted. For ease in transportation we made the two base legs and the desk separate; a heavyweight campaign desk.Product details...
