the orphans

I’ve learned that oftentimes ‘custom furniture’ means built like nothing other. no category, no title, no quick handle really describes them. they’re the pieces that either get kind of lost by the wayside or become stars in their own right by their uniqueness….or, they just defy an easy label.

this section is a compilation of such stars:

  • manhattan-etagere
  • ahab-lamp
  • askew-table
  • occasionally-table
  • rubiks-cubes
  • rustic-chic-executive-desk
  • dickson-music-stand
  • the-rhomboid
  • croton-on-table
  • kates-desk
  • jerrys-steps

  • deco-ish-kitchen
