For interior designers and architects. Every commission is drawn before anything is cut. You see a 3D model showing the shape, proportions and details, along with AI-assisted visualizations to help you see the piece in a finished space. When slabs are used, the actual slabs are laid out in the drawing.

What you receive

3D model of a long plank-top table on a pedestal of vertical boards set in a cross, standing on a rectangular plinth. — A long walnut table on the same pedestal, drawn for a rectangular plinth. The model, and the finished table.

The same pedestal built in walnut under a long walnut top, standing on its rectangular plinth on a pale oak floor. — A long walnut table on the same pedestal, drawn for a rectangular plinth. The model, and the finished table.

A long conference table with a figured light hardwood top and an angular black steel base, in an office conference room with a dark wall.

Slab layout

Each candidate slab is photographed by the supplier, cut out, and sized against the measurements marked on it, then arranged to your dimensions. You see the actual boards, not a representative image.
Model

A 3D model built from the slab layout, not a render of a generic piece. The drawing is held to 95 to 99 percent of the finished piece.
Finish samples

Physical samples, matched to the flooring, cabinetry, paint, fabric or finish sample in your scheme, so the material can go in front of the client with the rest of it.
Delivery and installation

Generally handled personally across Chicagoland, white glove beyond it, and installed. Pieces have gone to 47 of the 48 continental states.

Working together
