Furniture For Anne

When Anne called to discuss building her some furniture she said she just bought a new home, it was small and she had a million books and no where to unpack them. Admist other projects I had going on at the time I found some time to design, have parts fabricated and then with the help of friends and colleagues, build 5 pieces of furniture for her. As quick as possible.

Many thanks to Leon Kyriakopoulos, Gary Dunning, Mei Yen, Mike Bryant, Paul Bondick, and Derek McCall it never would have happened without your help.

Leon fabricated all the metal parts I needed, the right angle brackets below are the shelf supports. He also made bookends for the panel shelves.

Anne has a beautiful collection of antique furniture and ceramics, I wanted the pieces I designed to neither deter or compete with them. She suggested using pine which I was hesitant to at first but soon fell for. I like the humble, country fresh feel that it has.


The pieces below were designed to have book storage and showcase specific favorites of her collection of antique furniture.

The miniature cabinet below was one of many in a collection of "miniatures" that belonged to Anne's grandfather. The craftsmanship and detailing were on point all the way down to tiny set of china dishes. It's so neat to design and build furniture for a museum quality piece like that.







Thanks to my dad for all his tireless help and letting me trade trucks with him so I could use his full sized truck!
