End Table
This is one of a series of collaborative furniture pieces with wood worker Tom Kuklinski. For this piece we went with quarter-sawn red oak and straight solid lines reminiscent of the Mission style but with a contemporary twist. All of the pieces in our collaborations use locally sourced hardwood and hand forged iron to create a unique look that is greater than the materials by themselves.

I have worked extensively with architects, interior decorators, lighting designers, contractors and homeowners to create work that not only fulfills its basic function but enhances and integrates well with the overall design scheme.
In addition to traditional wrought ironwork I have studied a wide variety of design styles including Japanese, Arts and Crafts, Art Nouveau, as well as individual styles such as Greene and Greene,Frank Lloyd Wright, and Charles Rennie McIntosh. When you hire me I bring to the table a wealth of knowledge and experience to meet the demands of your project and enhance the beauty of your home or workplace.
