Here's a shot of the dresser with some product on it. These are a few starter samples to get the idea of size and layout.

the tünr tower

The time stamp is incorrect on this photo - it is really April, 2010. Here's a preliminary shot of the tünr tower. This is the traveling point of purchase stand with company name recognition and branding (FINE TUNE YOUR FEET) at the base. It is made out of sapelé, Peruvian walnut and figured maple. The tünr sales team will take this stand around with them to display their product and show one real life example of tünr's high quality image. This is one of the outstanding values of the company - the laces are stronger than the original laces that come with the shoes, (and they are designed explicitly for the make of the shoe) the socks are sold by the size intended to fit just right, super soft and a high quality weave. We think the next tower might have " tünr " in maple on the sign so that it will jump out. As is there is a touch of relaxed but confident communication. I'll leave that decision to the designers. I designed, engineered and built the tower...

Point of Purchase Display with Class

It packs in an overhead suitcase, comes apart and assembles easily.  And  where  is this cabinet going? NYC!

Perhaps one of the most amazing computer desks you will ever see. Custom Designed Office Desk. Fits together like a puzzle. Building for a Client: In 2008 I was approached by Bob to build an office desk . After a brief discussion I agreed to work with him and so began our journey. He started by saying that he wanted a desk for his office and he wanted to make it out of concrete. He showed me a few photos out of a book that displayed a red concrete surface that was partially ground down exposing the inner rocks of the concrete. We ended up with a concrete desk that has two desk surfaces coming off of it forming a U. With the concrete at the bottom center of the U one side desk is referred to as "the return" Desk and the other the "counter top". Red Concrete, Wengé, TigerWood and Stainless Steel Like a puzzle, each component of this desk fits into the other, perfectly. This project involved quite a bit of engineering as many of the parts are functio...
