Parsons Desk | American Black Walnut
This unique take on a traditional Parsons table is constructed in rich walnut with solid legs. No hardware or screws were employed, instead, the piece is secured with mortise and tenon joints and a bit of glue. Half-blind dovetail jointed drawers can be removed and used as task boxes (drawer slides are also solid walnut). Created for the 2014 Parsons The New School of Design senior thesis show.

Christopher Miano
CAM Design Co.
A graduate of Parsons The New School of Design, Christopher was invited to study at the prestigious Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen. His products can be seen at One World Observatory on top of New York City's World Trade Center and design boutiques such as McNally Jackson, Good For The Study and Fair Folks and a Goat. Previous clients include Harvard, Starbucks, and Condé Nast, among others. Christopher resides in New York City.
For Christopher Miano, every project is an opportunity to explore processes and combine age-old craft with modern techniques in his coherent design style. Christopher works directly with clients to concept out, design, and fabricate pieces that lean heavily on handcraftsmanship and superior materials, like high-end woods, Carrara marble, and beautiful metals. From first sketch to final product, Christopher is intimately involved in every step, resulting in unique designs with an heirloom quality.
