Synergy Of Shapes
This Chair has a simple and short story. As we all know, solid wood is costly, for that reason I feel it imperative to use all the wood I have at my disposal. I never quite understood why that in all the wood shops I've ever worked for there was always so much left over wood that never got used. When ever I would see that I would always say to myself that my shop would be different. Thanks to a little creativity and some left over Alder left in my shop from previous jobs. I was able to piece together this chair. The Design kind of took care of itself by the simple fact that I could't go out side the boundaries that were given to me at the get go. This reminds me of when I was a little kid, and I had to make sure to color in between the lines.

What If... Designs
A little about me.
I used my Montgomery G.I Bill money I got from serving to go to woodworking school. I spent 3 and a half years in the school and then I worked for a few different wood shops till I landed where I am now.
I am very happy where I am now and super proud of the work we do there.
When I'm not designing for clients I'm building my own designs.
My ethos is the same as all great designers. That is, “Form Must Always Follow Function”.
I, like most people, have a favorite things to look at. For me it’s trees, I love almost all of them. When I'm standing under a huge one I get such a feeling of peace and comfort.
I’m sure we all know by now that trees look the way they do because that’s exactly how they need to be designed in order for them to thrive.
The tree to me is the epitome of Form Following Function.
The tree is my standard, it is the bar that I’m trying to reach.
A tree is mighty and durable. I want my furniture to be strong and well built.
A tree is beautiful and timeless. I want my furniture to be super cool and never trendy.
Thanks again for taking the time.

Feb 17, 2015Michel is a wonderful and professional artisan. He kept the lines of communication open during the whole project and was always open to suggestions. I look forward to working with him again. The headboard is beautiful.

Jul 20, 2015We are completely thrilled with the chest of drawers and night stands Michel designed and produced for us. The design was both modern and functional. He selected beautiful wood that fit within the budget and the pieces show a real attention to detail on how they are put together. We were always updated on the progress of their construction and he figured out how to safely deliver them into a room with narrow entry. We give Michel our highest recommendation.
