The Bench
The Bench is created from reclaimed and fsc certified cherry. The natural shape in which the tree grew created the organic flow of the piece. It is finished with oil and wax. Recycled metal pipe supports the back.

Coffee Table
The “Beate” coffee table is created from reclaimed Doulgas Fir, custom metal slats and custom glass. The sides are each separated by an eighth of an inch of air which gives this piece a unique floating quality. Finished with light sanding and organic oil to accentuate the beauty of the natural grain.

Crib
The “Madeleine” crib is made out of FSC certified Walnut and finished with an organic orange oil. It later converts to a child’s bed with a simple removal of the front bars. I chose the walnut carefully for it’s unique grains and hues and placed them together like pieces of a puzzle to create an airy and calming look. It features bent wood bases for the side and light walnut inlay on the top. A truly magical place to drift off to sleep.

Bamboo Bed
I wanted to use a sustainable green material to create a piece of bedroom furniture that is both modern and comfortable.
The shape of the headboard is modeled after the human spine, and thus extremely comfortable for sitting and lying back without the aid of pillows.
The bed is treated with a natural oil that brings out the beauty of the bamboo.
The nightstands are bamboo with solid walnut inlay and appear to be a closed cube until a front drawer opens with an easy pull.

Teak Door
I was asked to build this front door for a new contemporary modern residence in the Palisades. Solid 3/4 inch teak sandwiched on a core piece of plywood (no formaldehyde) with two narrow windows cut into the 8 foot door. The whole thing(about 650 pounds) hangs on pivots and works with a magnetic lock. No door handles required. Opens both ways.

Spiral Playhouse
A family in Venice asked me if I could build a play structure for their children. Inspired by my Waldorf background, I created a spiral form that would keep the children
mesmerized. The ground area features a secret sand play area and the bent wood steps lead to a round house in the trees surrounded by rope and unusual hiding places.
The house is based on 12 round poles . To protect them against moisture, I burned the lower part that is in the ground and created a coal patina. The roof is a flower blossom.
The wood is FSC Certified Pine, Plywood and Cedar.

Backyard Oasis
This was a junk filled overgrown backyard. I was asked to create an attractive outdoor patio. I used fsc certified douglas fir to create the open slated roof. I built the fence afterward treating it with natural stain oil. For the roof I draped unbleached organic cotton fabric over the wood slats to create a zen like feel.
