This set of cabinets was built from reclaimed floor joists salvaged during the clients' renovation and addition. The clients were particularly interested in carrying forward some of the rustic character of the house before the renovation as a memory of the past, while providing the services of a more contemporary home.
Object A
I am Southern Illinois based designer and custom builder with 18 years experience in metal fabrications, carpentry and custom installations. My background in both sculpture and architecture have helped in developing the capacity to recognize the spatial implications and conceptual potency of the objects with which we interact daily.
I have a particular interest in objects and installations that produce spatial relationships between users, program shifts and versatility, and help the owner/occupant express themselves through the act of dwelling.
I believe in the intuitions of my clients, and work to maintain an open dialogue and a collaborative spirit. As such, I often work in association with area design/build groups and local craftspeople in order to broaden my capacity to serve my clients' interests.
Joshua was an absolute pleasure to work with. He's an incredible craftsman. The finished piece was exactly as we had hoped for and truly beautiful. He was thorough, a great communicator, and delivered the product on time. I will certainly want to work with him again in the future and would recommend him to anyone looking for a quality, custom item.
Josh and his team did a great job, my comic book cabinets are phenomenal. My friends and family are very impressed with the quality and design, making it a showpiece for our library. As an added bonus my wife is very happy to have my comic book boxes off the floor and the comics stored in a great looking piece of woodwork. Thanks Josh!
We had a great experience working with Joshua and Object A. We needed to replicate some existing handmade desks and tables as part of an office expansion, and our original carpenter was unavailable. Joshua provided CAD mockups based only on the original quote photos and instantly assured us of his skills and comprehension of the needs. He also took the time to send us stain samples to ensure the finish of the new surfaces matched our existing pieces. He shipped the desks disassembled to save us on transit costs, and everything arrived in perfect shape, extra hardware and all. And the pieces are beautiful and built exactly to spec. The company owners remarked that the Object A desks are nicer than our originals. Well done, Josh. Thank you for the wonderful work.
OMG Joshua is the consummate professional and expert at his craft! Working with Joshua made this an awesome first time CustomMade experience. I would without a doubt recommend him, his skill, and CustomMade again. Joshua delivered the bookshelf pretty much to the "T" based on the picture we originally posted. He provided very easy to follow instructions. My husband and I had absolutely no problems assembling the unit. It was packed soundly and professionally and delivered with no hiccups. True American Craftsmanship delivered to our front door. I will almost never buy "big-box" furniture again. Thanks Josh!
Beautiful! Great professionalism and communication through whole process. Very much appreciated! THANK YOU!
