Contemporary Deco Dining Set
This is a contemporary Art Deco dining set commissioned for a family in San Francisco, that includes an extension table that extends from 6ft to 12ft in length, with leaves added. It is a unique one of a kind set made from various maples including Eastern Red Maple, handmade Western Fiddleback Maple veneer, handmade Western Maple Burl veneer, and Eastern Big Leaf Maple veneer. The "ball" shape is spun steel that is hand polished and patinaed. This set could be redesigned in many ways, in many woods, and may have an impact on the cost (+ or -) depending on the details desired. The time frame listed below is incorrect, it was more than 9 months of work, but my only option to choose below was 12 weeks. Contact maker for various wood options, pricing options for the table and the chairs as separate items rather than as a complete set. This price below is the complete set of table and 14 chairs. Contact maker for timeline options for the numbers of chairs or detail adjustments for similar designs. there are many variations that could be done in very beautiful ways.

This Maker has consistently demonstrated excellence in craftsmanship and customer service.
I am a furniture designer and maker, specializing in unique custom furniture and accessories. Since 1982 I have designed and created furniture commissions here in Oregon and throughout the US. I am a graduate of Fine Arts, with a focus in painting, drawing and sculpture at San Francisco State University in 1974. Essentially self taught I began my career in San Francisco exploring unusual and sculptural furniture. I moved to Portland, Oregon, in 1977.
My passion for the fine arts has always been a significant and contributing inspiration with my furniture designs, in fact for many years my personal work involved story telling with both functional and nonfunctional furniture designs. I have taught at the college level in both furniture and fine art, and have taught many workshops as well. Maybe because of my unusual approach, my willingness to take chances in design, and at times my quirkiness, I have been fortunate enough to be published and featured often in the media, have shown in galleries and museums, and have received numerous awards for my work.
My love and search for a better design isn't confined simply to tables but finds me using chairs, tables, chests, consoles, lighting, candles, menorahs, entry tables, beds and bedroom accessories, coffee or cocktail tables, side tables of all kinds, home accessories of any description to tell my story. My inspirations come from both architectural and environmental interests. Through the years I have explored contemporary and unique versions of many styles such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, PostModern, Moderne, Modern, Craftsman, Greene and Greene, Shaker, and many more. I love working with my customers as a collaboration, exploring their desires with my unique approach. Let's see what we can come up with next!
