MADE IN SAN FRANCISCO
Naturally as designers we have a broad sense for shapes, pattern, texture, color and light. These are the visual instruments that we often conduct together in our minds.

It goes to show that a patterned fabric has little margin for imperfections. Lining up the pattern requires extra time and skill. Any slight mistake will distort the pattern repeat. This chair captured during work in progress shows the extra fabric that was needed to achieve the pattern repeat. Rule of thumb for bigger pattern repeats requires more overage of fabric yardage.
Add some vintage glamour. We love a fish eye lens the same reason we love these fish eye mirrors. These mirrors distort to enhance any reflection you’ll never tire looking at. Keep these eyes on you and enjoy the pictures.
As creators, we refer to the past for inspiring and ground breaking designs. We honor the genius masters of our time and time’s past. May it be a painter, architect or a sculpture; seeking the truth is always at stake for men and women who take up creative occupations. For furniture makers, truth lies in every thread that meets a needle, fabric that meets a wood-frame, and a ruler that dictates size and scale. A craftsman’s place of worship is where materials come together as one. It’s a place that inspires him to create honest work, a place to express his god-given talent.

We’re talking about "chocolate"!
Across the street from our studio is the Guittard Chocolate Factory. If lucky while visiting, you’ll be greeted by an infectious aroma of “mom’s freshly baked brownies”. Unintended and a bit serendipitous, our studio’s chocolate-colored walls (Benjamin Moore’s- Mink #2112-10) are looking pretty “sweet”, too!
these decadent walls serve as a perfect backdrop for the ever changing pieces at the studio. and rightly so for these handsome set of dining chairs that we had recently acquired and carefully restored.
