I designed the Ariana Chair to go with the Ariana Dining Table. It is made from solid black American walnut and features mortise and tenon joinery, a sculpted seat, and a comfortable curved back rest. The dimensions are approximately 18"W x 17.8"D x 31.75"H

We had something in mind when we approached Mark Palmquist Design. We had seen his designs and were confident he could build a beautiful and solid table. Mark Palmquist far exceeded our expectations. The table is more beautiful and solid than initially conceptualized by us. It is an exquisite piece of furniture that will be passed down. Absolutely wonderful work!
For my husband and me, family dinner is sacrosanct but we never could find the table that fit our needs and taste. Mark brought our dream table to life and made it so sturdy we will be sure to enjoy it with grandkids someday. Not only is the table a perfect union of beauty and function, Mark delivered the table personally which meant very much to us because obviously he cares just as much as we do.
Mark was extremely responsive and professional during the process of ordering, production and shipping. His craftsmanship is beautiful. Our client loves her table! We highly recommend Mark and look forward to working with him again in the future. (Miriam Biolek-Jones, haus. by bjc. interior design studio, NYC)
Seeking a unique dining table for our recently purchased 1920s vintage home, Mark's Diego table was exactly what we wanted: stylish, well crafted and cleverly engineered. Communication and shipping were easy and punctual. We had a few specialized requests for the piece that were well accommodated. I look forward to working with Mark again as we continue to settle in to our new home. Thanks Mark!
The table is AMAZING! It is exactly what I wanted. Mark communicates well, he sent a video of the table getting built and updated me on the progress of the table. He was very professional and just a nice person. I would use him again.
