Umpqua Bank Queen Anne Narrative Wall Installation

These are photos of a project we completed earlier this year. Designed by our very talented pals at Ditroen. Photos by Aaron Leitz Photography.

Overall view of the installation

The unit is layered with solid wood tapered tiles and varying widths of ash slats.

The graphics were all laser etched, and then finished with satin varnish. 

MADE and Esque bread boards

Here are pictures of a new collaboration between MADE and Esque-- live edge maple and walnut cutting boards, each custom routed to house beautiful glass domes. Perfect for parties, dinners and tastings. Each one varies, so call to learn about current inventory.

Arcadia Beach Coast House Ceiling: Complete!

Here are photos of the ceiling project we were installing over the past 5 months. We are glad to see it done!

 These pendant lights hang over the walnut slab dining room table (that we are building as we type this!)

Clark College Bench

Here are some photos of a sculptural bench that we recently installed at Clark College in Vancouver.

The blocks of cedar are shaped and installed to resemble clusters of columnar basalt.

The largest block (weighing 150 lbs.) is laser etched in memory of the donors son.

This wood was taken from remaining cutoffs from a tree farm in WA, supplied by a local forester.

Fancy chainsaw work and lots of sanding created the faceting that emulates natural stone.

How to install a 15,000 Lineal Foot ceiling

Here is a progress update on the installation of the custom ceiling at the Oregon Coast:

(Step 1) Create insanely complex shop drawing

(Step 2) Install 2 x 4 furring strips milled to exact tolerances.

(Step 3) Hang fabric between furring strips.

(Step 4) Sort through material and find best matches.

(Step 5) Start installing—proceed with caution.

(Step 6) Keep going.

(Step 7) Make crazy concealed flipper doors where access is needed.

(Step 8) Admire how crazy flipper doors close and completely disappear.

(Step 9) Scribe fit around steel columns.

(Step 10) Do this for about 5 months, until complete. (To be continued.....)

Newest Work

These are some pictures of a sofa and bed that we built for a client here in SE Portland:

The sofa is made from walnut. Thanks to Think Design for the custom upholstery!

We wanted the silhouette of the side table to match that of the upholstery. The table and cabinet are made from solid walnut.

Two sliding doors reveal interior storage space.

Detail of the corner of the bed—this was hand shaped and sanded to fit the contour of the mattress.

On each side of the bed we built custom shelving, installed into the drywall nook.

Finley Coast house Progress

The finley ceiling is going in. This is the first of 15,000 lineal feet of riftsawn white oak!

The first step was to stretch black speaker fabric over the entire dropped ceiling.

Each light, speaker, and fire sprinkler fits perfectly within the randomized pattern. Our tolerances for this job is less than 1/16" over 50'.

RN-74 Communal Table

Here are some pictures of the RN-74 communal table in process.

The table is made up of solid walnut planks with brass inlay—after we install the brass, we scrape it flush to the wood— you can see the brass shavings mixed in with the walnut. This was very, very satisfying.

Detail shot of the brass after it is scraped flush.

Here are the two halves ready for final assembly. We are installing a solid brass block between the halves. The final dimensions are 43" wide x 12' long.

RN-74 Furnishings

Hey there! Sorry we have been a bit out of touch lately, but here is a sampling of what we have been up to. These are all custom pieces for the new RN-74 restaurant in Seattle.

These are wine serving tables-- walnut top and blackened steel bases. Glasses hang from the underside.

Dovetail Pullout Drawers.

Some little cocktail tables for the waiting area-- we made four of the walnut tables and two of the brass and marble tables.
