Maloof Foundation

First to recommend

Description

Sam Maloof is one of the primary founders of the modern studio furniture movement. He is one of my heroes and inspirations. He has pioneered techniques of furnituremaking that have become widely imitated and seldom improved upon. I believe he is 91 years old and still works in his shop six days a week.

Peter Danko Designs

First to recommend

Description

I have been an admirer of Peter Danko’s inventive approach to making furniture from molded plywood ever since I began studying furniture design. His website is virtually a manifesto of the environmental virtues of using plywood rather than solid wood. His approach to design requires dramatically less wood consumption that traditional solid wood furniture construction.

Green Design Furniture Co. Series 2 Sideboard

First to recommend

Description

The design of this sideboard represented a new chapter in the progress of my evolving style. The composition of drawers, shaped floating-panel doors and the curving edge on the top work together to create the essence of the second generation of my experiments with fastener-free furniture construction.

Green Design Furniture Co. Neehi Console for Flat Screen TVs

First to recommend

Description

Of all of my designs, none have been as prescient as the Neehi collection. When I began investigating how the new flat screen TV’s would affect the furniture needs of the end user, it became clear that a new category of home entertainment furniture was called for. The low height of the cabinet top sets the screen at the correct viewing angle, and the cabinet comes in three different lengths to accommodate a wide range of components and center channel speakers. The Neehi has been our best selling line of furniture for over two years.

Green Design Furniture Co. S2 Platform Bed

First to recommend

Description

The S2 Platform Bed combines elements of conventional and platform designs. The mattress rests on ash slats below the surrounding cherry ledge to create a lighter, floating profile. The headboard is angled at the ideal pitch for reading. I have been sleeping in the first prototype of this bed for two years now and highly recommend it if you are looking to create a bedroom space that is simple, clean and elegant at the same time.
