Ella Bed
The Ella Bed is my most popular bed and features a minimalist frame and an elegant woven leather head board. It is constructed using mortise and tenon joinery to last a lifetime. Choose between hard maple or walnut frame and choose a leather color (white, black, and dark brown). The Ella bed comes in all standard sizes.

For Minimalist Modern Dining Table In Maple5.0For 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.

For Karina Mid Century Walnut Table Base For Stone Or Marble Top5.0I am thrilled about how my coffee table turned out: design, quality, and craftsmanship. Mark was so helpful and patient throughout the design process. He understood what I wanted based on photos of other designs I sent him and he came up with the perfect design. He designed a piece that has minimalist and clean lines, yet that has all the storage that was so important to me as a condo dweller. The workmanship and attention to detail is apparent in the piece. I now have the perfect coffee table for my space that is unique, yet timeless. I cannot recommend Mark enough, whether collaborating with him on a unique design or purchasing a design he already has thought out, as the quality will be second to none.

For Minimalist Modern Dining Table - Mark Palmquist4.7We 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!
