Night Stand / Chest Of Drawers / End Table
This Night stand was born out of a client seeing my larger chest of drawers and liking it so much that he asked me to make him one with only 2 drawers. The original design is something I came up with about 3 years ago that involves the whole section of the drawer coming to you as you pull it out. Instead of a drawer box coming out of a cabinet box, I decided to change it up and have the whole thing come to you. Don't tell anyone I'm doing this, I don't want the word to get out. I'd be bummed if some day I found out that Ikea started doing this too ;-)

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.

For Chest of Drawers and night stands5.0We 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.
