I am a custom furniture maker. I work out of my shop in northwest Connecticut and source most of my wood locally.
My handcrafted furniture designs are inspired by mid-century-modern, Nakashima, shaker and arts & crafts designs. I strive to design and build with simple and beautiful lines in mind and celebrate both the wood grain and joinery. I finish my furniture pieces with natural oil finishes, each coat hand rubbed and never anything that will hide the beauty of the wood surfaces.
I work with customers on original designs for them as well as designs based on existing pieces. I develop 3D CAD designs to review with clients. They are always welcome to see photographs of the work in progress.

For Mid Century Modern Side Or Night TableSimon did a wonderful job of responding to the specifications I needed for my two nightstands, and the finished product was excellent, a true piece of craftsmanship. I enthusiastically recommend Simon Metz Woodworking!
