The Lay Collection was designed in response to a customer desiring a simple design but wanting something more visually interesting than the simple Shaker design could offer.
The Lay collection is marked by a subtlety of curves and soft edges. The tell tale circle silhouette cutout of the legs provides just a hint of interest at the point of joinery. Surface edges like dining tables and dresser tops have been rounded over and smoothed. Doors are flat panel within a frame and drawer faces a simple plane.
The simplicity of the Lay chair, with its curved single back, is a perfect compliment to the Lay table.
The Recessed Panel Collection has been our most popular over the years. This collection is characterized by mitered molding and a detail we call trace; the single band of accent wood that flows below aprons and around the legs. The Recessed Panel Collection can appear very contemporary if using a mixture of woods and colors, but feel right at home in a traditional setting if more subtle wood tones are chosen. The design which started as just a dining room set now includes tables of all types and cabinetry for every room in the home.
The Beveled Miter Collection is in a class of its own. Stately, masculine, unmistakable, are just a few words that have been used to describe this collection. This is a perfect design to highlight amazing woods and contrasting details. The bedroom collection is a contemporary interpretation of early 20th century spindle designs. The pulls, alone, are a design in themselves. This is one of our most impressive bedroom collections.
The Pierced Lattice collection came about from a fondness of the fretwork in traditional furniture with a desire to do something new. While the dining table leg was our starting point, the entire collection springs from the lattice design. Cabinetry has inset lattice work and the Pierced Back chairs have picked up the arches and voids in its ergonomically pleasing back splat. While hours of work go into each individually hand cut lattice, the visual interest of the dining table leg is the pay off. We then add a string inlay to the border on the top. While this collection was designed nearly ten years ago, the Pierced Lattice design remains one of our most popular, and is certainly our favorite to build.
Currently this collection is available in only a table design which includes dining, console, and cocktail. It is our most contemporary of designs. The top is inset, with a beveled edge and rounded corners. The slab sits above a sleek apron and leg that have been arched and rounded. The contemporary factor can be enhanced even more by using a mixture of woods from base to top.
Mission through and through, the slatted table and the Andreae chair are a perfect match to the contemporary Mission home.
In no other category of furniture building do we experience customization of a design as we do in cabinetry. Every client has a different need for cabinetry and we are happy to accommodate. All of our cabinet work is customizable from dining room buffets and china cabinets, where drawers and doors, shelves and display space are a consideration, to home office desks where file drawers, storage space, CPUs and their peripherals are of paramount concern. Use our portfolio as a launching pad of ideas and tweak those ideas to any configuration you need.
