Fine Office Furniture
     
I have made many desks, tables and chairs for offices, mostly but not always for lawyers. I begin with Don's Desk which wasco-designed with and built for an orthodontist. In addition to being popular in the form pictured it has been the inspiration for several other desks . The pictures in this section are the examples I had professionally photographed. I have other examples in my own snapshot format; call or e-mail if you would like to see more!
     
  Don's Desk: Another candidate for a signature piece I cannot take full credit for the design. I drew a desk with lots of arcs and my "Ming Shaker" detailing. The customer came back with the design where the curve in the pigeon hole console carries on through the lower drawer; that detail makes the piece! I have made this desk in two other sizes. Pictured in cherry with birdseye maple panels and drawer fronts, it has ebonized walnut drawer pulls. Overall dimensions are: 50"W x 28"D x 40"H; $6,000
     
  TLB Chairs: Designed to go with the cantilevered desk and the table base the ebonized walnut version went in the office. I have a design for a dining table to compliment a mixed set of cherry and ebonized walnut TLB chairs, the combination of woods you see in the chair photo. Overall dimensions of the chair are: 52"H x 22"W x 25"D. Call or e-mail for pricing.
     
  TLB Desk: This is an amateur photo. I designed this desk for a 6'5" lawyer with very contemporary tastes. This cantilevered desk was installed with sailboat backstay adjusters attached to bolts through the floor to anchor the end and allow for leveling. The desk is constructed of birdseye maple and walnut; the maple is naturally finished and the walnut is ebonized. Overall dimensions are: 76"L x 38"W x 30"H. $8000.00 * TLB Round Table Base: This birdseye maple and ebonized walnut table base was delivered with a 48"dia. 3/4"thick glass top. $1,750 plus glass.
     
  Pencil-leg Table/Desk: This example has a birdseye maple top and a dyed cherry base. The design with a drawer works well for tables up to 65" long; without a drawer it can be as long as you want and in both cases the depth is up to you. I have also made this with other combinations of woods and natural and dyed finishes.
Price - $ 3,000 in cherry; $ 3,350 w/BirdsEye maple top when available.
     
  Garvey Desk: A custom desk inspired by Don's Desk this has many of the same details. Constructed of cherry and maple with ebonized walnut pulls, the desk has a file drawer on one side of the base and two smaller drawers on the other side. Overall dimensions are: 60"W x 34"D x 43 1/2"H with the pigeon hole console. The base desk would make an elegant larger desk by itself. As pictured: $8,700
     
  Paine Standing Desk: Another customer at the same law firm where TLB and Mr. Bothwick work, Mr. Paine has bought a regular desk as well. In both cases he provided pictures of items he liked. In this case it was a sideboard of similar design. The desk is cherry with a half-round piece of birdseye maple which keeps pencils from rolling off when the top is tilted. Inside is a good bit of storage and the tilting mechanism. The footrest has a brushed brass scuff plate. Overall dimensions are: 45"H x 42"W x 33 1/2" D. $4,750
     
  Mr. Bothwick's Desk: Mr. Bothwick has furnished his whole office with my furniture including this desk, a credenza, four chairs and a drop leaf round occasional conference table. The desk and credenza were inspired by Don's Desk. The desk is cherry with birdseye maple top panels, a birdseye maple band at the top of three sides of the skirt and birdseye maple drawer fronts. The desk has three drawers the center of which has a lock. On the client side there is a pull out work surface. Overall dimensions are: 72"L x 42"W x 30"H. $8,500
     
  Mr. Bothwick's Credenza: Again the materials are cherry and birdseye maple. This case has four legal file drawers with case locks. The center section was custom dimensioned to hold a refrigerator. Overall dimensions are: 72"L x 32"H x 22 1/2"D. $10,000
