More than functional.
Interesting by design.
“I like to design furniture around shapes and contours rather than letting the form of the wood dictate the design.”
David’s work brings rich woods, metal and glass together in curving lines and bold, elegant structures. Each piece is developed as both a useful object and a lasting work of art.
Built one piece
at a time.
Original furniture and commissioned work in wood, metal, glass and stone.
A commission begins with your idea.
Some clients arrive with a precise vision. Others bring only a need, a room or a material they love. David develops the form through conversation, sketches and material exploration—then builds the finished piece by hand.
