Light Frame Office Suite
This project was produced for a home design studio for a client that was particularly interested in the color and texture of oriented strand board as a surface material. The frames are light structural steel tubing with a lacquer finish. The smaller secondary units are made from Alder veneered panels, often referred to as "poor man's cherry" and used as an economical option for interior panels in cherry cabinetry. My personal interest in this project was found in the material choices as being unconventional and un-lavish. A sincere satisfaction comes from being asked to use simple materials, often overlooked as construction grade or secondary, to build something beautiful that honors their intrinsic beauty.

Great service
This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
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.

For Brenda's Dining Table4.3Josh did a beautiful job with my table. The job took longer than expected due to the brass plating which was done by a third party. Josh was very apologetic and offered to cover the shipping. Overall I'm very happy with the end result and would do it again. The table is stunning!

For Greg's Coffee Table5.0I am extremely happy with Joshua and his team at Object A. The craftsmanship and quality of their of their work is simply amazing! They recreated a piece for me from a picture rough dimension estimates. Joshua’s communication was great and he kept me well informed of what was happening when and the speed at which they finished the piece was simply astonishing! I would highly recommend working with Joshua and Object A. I will definitely work with them in the future!

For Beetle Kill Pine L-Shaped Desk5.0I love my Beetle Kill Pine Desk. It's unique - lighter wood with black streaks. The workmanship is top notch. Josh talked me through everything and made it easy to buy a piece of custom furniture online. Everything was on time and on budget. I highly recommend Josh to design and build for you.

For Custom vessel sink vanity5.0Thus far, I am extremely pleased with Joshua's communication throughout the process and the item itself. In truth, the wooden vanity has not been installed yet, so I must reserve full rating until completion of my project, but at this point he has exceeded my expectations. The vanity arrived yesterday and I opened and inspected it. The shelf is beautiful, unique, well built, functional and I believe, will attach soundly to the wall as meant to. Thank you!
