Products for Our Etsy Shop

We’ve just opened our Etsy Shop, ThinkingThruDesign, and have a few pieces which were CNC’d from colored FinnPly, one of our favorite materials for furniture and accessories. A new piece is a series of boxes made from stacked strips of plywood, which we call, “Zen,” because of the contemporary Japanese style.

Landscape Projects

Summer is the time for outdoor construction. Sometimes, we have ideas that force us to combine Design + Build, simply because it’s hard to find people who are willing to stretch the limit of craftsmanship.

This is a landscape design we have been finishing at a modern home in Sherman Oaks…

Modern Planters / Doghouse

My dog, Remy*, assumes that everything I make is some sort of new house for him…

Teak / Aluminum planters

Planters for a modern deck

These are planters I designed and fabricated for the deck of a modern townhouse. Materials are Teak and Aluminum.

Wood and aluminum boxes

Here was an alternate idea, for the same space, consisting of Teak/Aluminum boxes that can be easily rearranged on a series of horizontal planks.

*Remy turned me into such a dog fanatic that I started manufacturing pet dining tables for Under1Woof.com.

Light + Space Art inspires furniture

These luminous panels and doors were inspired by my longstanding interest in Light + Space created by people like James Turrell.

a new meaning to Working Outdoors…

These handy laptop stands will last for many years even fully exposed to the elements. They are also handy for refreshments, when it’s time to take a break.

New Outdoor Furniture

A pair of outdoor coffee tables.

This pair of tables can be arranged as a soft rectangle, or reversed into a butterfly shape–perfect for the center of a conversation area in an outdoor living room.

 

I just finished some new outdoor tables, collaborating with an excellent metal fabricator. They are made from Red Balau, which is probably the most durable of all woods when used outdoors.
