“Standing is the New Smoking” Standing Desk

July 21, 2015 | Filed in: Art Progress, commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

This is the second standing desk I have built and installed this spring.  One client, when she was telling me why she wanted a standing desk, told me “standing is the new smoking” in terms of how bad it is for your health.  I love that line so I named my standing desk series after […]

November 12, 2013 | Filed in: Art Progress, Art Shows, Furniture | No Comments »

This piece premiered at the 2013 Western Design Conference. It is based on the traditional secretary desk design, with modern touches: copper panels with a custom patina, hand carved antler pulls, and of course a cord chase inside to enable plugging in all of our numerous electrical devices while hiding the wires. In keeping with […]

Steel Tree: hand forged steel, 77″ ht x 31″ diameter, Meg Thompson, 2011. This fall I finally finished the Steel Tree I started a few years ago.   It began as a coat hanger.  But as I hammered the hot square metal into textured tree bark, it quickly became clear it was going to be more […]

 

Scottish Highlander Bovine Buffet

December 13, 2010 | Filed in: commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

This buffet was made for a couple in Brooklyn, NY. I get many designs features from the natural world and animals. I usually name my furniture pieces after the animals that inspired them. Recently I’ve been into Scottish Highland cows, as evident of the design of this piece: the legs of the buffet have hoof-like […]

9’6″ Custom Entryway Table

April 21, 2010 | Filed in: commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

This is a custom entryway table I did for a coop building in Brooklyn.  They already had the mirror and wanted something to match the mirror and fit well in the space.  I worked with the client from the coop board on the design.  Because the top surface is quartz (i.e. heavy) I decided to […]

 

Skinny Buffalo, only darker.

April 21, 2010 | Filed in: commissions, Furniture | No Comments »

A customer in NYC requested a “Skinny Buffalo” design but in a darker tone to match her current dining room table. We raised the shelf up a bit to accommodate dinners on the floor (room for knees to fit under the table) and made it slightly longer and taller, to fit just right in front […]
