The Sweetheart Cabinet
An elegant cabinet with a nod to the designs of Emile-Jacques Ruhlman. The root portion of a claro walnut tree creates the stunning grain in the curved bookmatched doors. The top of the legs and the front of the drawer are carved to mimic the ball peen detail on the sterling silver plate behind the pull. Open the doors to discover the flaming maple back and the small drawer with a sterling silver pull. All hardware is handmade by the artist. The piece is finished with hand rubbed shellac.

Grainlab Design
Grainlab Design is a one woman custom furniture studio. Since 2000 I have designed and built furniture and interiors for architects, interior designers, business and private clients.
I have been a woodworker for over 30 years. I studied with James Krenov and have apprenticed and worked with some of the finest furniture makers in the country. I am a member of The NW Woodworker's Gallery in Seattle WA and show my work throughout the region.
I design with a Northwest Modern perspective. I'm inspired by simple clean design and gorgeous woods that express the natural elements with a comtemporary profile. I encourage you to contact me for colaboration on your furniture ideas. I can customize a current design, or build something with your ideas as inspiration.
