Leaf Table
May 12, 2012
New York continues to inspire space centered designs. With the leaf down, this trestle makes a perfect desk at 2′x5′. Lift the leaf, slide the base over to support it and you have space to seat six around the 3′x5′ surface.
Dean Credenza
April 29, 2012
The Dean Credenza is a showcase of contrasting materials: salvaged cedar, navy blue leather and polished brass. The solid wood case displays the exterior face of planks taken from deconstructed NYC water towers. Dark lines perpendicular to the grain are evidence of the steel bands that once bound the water tank. A wax finish keeps the weathered wood looking as close to its natural grey patina as possible. Doors clad in deep blue leather and brass hardware offset the cedar’s rustic feel. Casual luxury.

Practical, simple, clean, affordable. Salvaged spruce. Well considered proportions.
Scaffold Media Console
March 25, 2012
This media console houses components, hides cords, and anchors your flat screen. It is constructed of weathered spruce scaffold planks, with a clean birch plywood interior, and easy-down door hardware by Sugatsune. As pictured it is 72″ long x 20″ tall x 18 deep, with vintage brass handles.
Work Table

A lighter version of the Farm Table with the legs pulled to the corners and a smooth top, this piece can host dinner or see your projects to fruition. Made of reclaimed spruce scaffold planks. Hand rubbed oil and wax finish. With removable legs, it can fit.
Industry Shelving
March 3, 2012
Heavy duty shelving made of salvaged water tank cedar and blackened steel. This design can be fabricated in just about any size and with your choice of wood. The steel corner design would allow this piece to be even taller, wider and deeper than you see here without so much as a wobble. Thanks to Evan the Intern (seen polishing above) for all his help over the past few weeks.
Madison Dresser

This solid reclaimed redwood case is fitted with extra large, solid maple dovetailed drawer boxes. Each drawer is 40″ wide x 10″ tall x 18″ deep, and the heavy duty hardware allows them to glide easily to full extension. It’s big, but the flush inset drawer fronts, flat panels and lack of protruding hardware help the piece carry itself with grace.
Martin Table
January 19, 2012
We didn’t want the legs of this table to disappear under the large reclaimed wood top, nor did we want more obstruction to leg room than was necessary. Instead of using steel bar or tube, we achieved volume by designing with heavy gauge sheetmetal, bent and formed to a custom profile. The result anchors the space without feeling too heavy. The top is made of floor joists salvaged from a renovation at my shop.
Five Degree Platform Bed
October 29, 2011
This queen bed takes its name from the subtle angle in its headboard. The design showcases exceptional reclaimed water tower redwood in its primary components. The support slats are milled from reclaimed spruce floor joists, and the simple legs are blackened steel.
Atlantic Shelving
October 23, 2011
Add storage and display space, check. Accentuate the height of the room, check. Maintain a free-hanging look, check. Integrate the television and media components, check. Hide cords, check. Come in on budget, check…
The Atlantic Shelving and Media System accomplishes all these goals through simplicity. The materials are modest: blackened steel brackets and reclaimed douglas fir planking, and the forms are basic. Careful attention to proportions and spacing allow an amazing amount of functionality to complete the room rather than clutter it. The media cabinet is fit with a heavy duty, full extension shelf that allows easy access to the components’ cables while keeping the tangle out of sight.
