The Sorin Trestle Dining Table was commissioned by a local wine merchant who wanted a modern rendition of the classic French farm tables he sat at in so many vintner's homes across France. A nod to timeless craftsmanship is evident in the hand carved legs and mortise and tenon construction, creating a solid trestle base. The table top calls on our shared respect of the Japanese wabi sabi aesthetic by including a partial live edge that creeps up from beneath.

This dining chair was designed for Beast, Naomi Pomeroy's Portland based restaurant.

The design is delightfully comfortable and solidly constructed. This chair is number six in a long line of prototypes where dimension, height, pitch, angles, contours and structure were explored extensively to come up with a form suited for a wide array of body types.

The entire frame is built using mortise & tenon joinery. The molded seat and backrest are thoughtfully aligned to allow hours of dining enjoyment.

The client's desire for specialized seating was the foundation of the Expatriate project.  A showcase circular corner booth was a necessity as well as movable booth seating that could be arranged in a typical fashion or moved to create a single banquette along the wall to open the floor for parties.  The adjustable booths roll on locking casters and we designed custom hardware to anchor them into the various configurations. The booth backs were intentionally shortened to create connectivity between guests.

The Oregon black walnut bar with copper well was designed and built per the specifications of the client based on his preferences and refinements for making the perfect bar. The drink making station is intended to showcase the bartender and the craft of making cocktails.  The lowered ADA bar now houses turn tables.

The clients personally selected all of the lumber at Goby.  The bar slabs are fit together with a tenon, which allows for the massive movement in the wood.

Executing the full design and build-out of the June restaurant interior was the incentive that carried Matthew from New York City to Portland.  This project was a marriage of the last decade of his time spent serving in some of the finest restaurants in New York while simultaneously completing an Architecture degree at Pratt Institute.  Co-owning this restaurant proved to be a beautiful segue into the design community rooted in the Northwest. 

The open kitchen and floor plan provided visual connectivity and fluid circulation for staff and guests, while still maintaining a sense of intimacy. The experience of the environment was known to entrance guests savoring courses of food over many hours.  

This location now houses a restaurant by the name of Davenport. The space has been modified in many ways, but it still holds much of the original integrity and design.

This secluded back room was a later addition to this West Village restaurant.  Though it was executed by the same architects who had created the original intimate and charming front dining space, the back room was left feeling lifeless and unfinished. Guests arriving to this room after being escorted through the main space often felt shunned in the lackluster room despite the more spacious setting and comfortable booths.

The addition of the service station was commissioned with the intent of adding beauty and energy to this back room while also celebrating the act of Service and the tools of the trade, integrating this into the dining experience.  Many of the theatrical elements from the front room, such as mirrors, varied lighting, and glass, were intentionally incorporated to create relationship between the two spaces.

Additional window sill treatments were built to carry the warmth of the red oak and ash into the dining area and a sculptural walnut side table was later added to create a beautiful and decorative object that acted as a slight separation between guests and the active server station.  

With the addition of this installation, the back room became a favored space. President Obama and the First Lady would eventually dine in this room.

The Samson Home Bar was commissioned by a couple for their newly purchased home. He has a penchant for making delicious cocktails and wanted a hutch to showcase his extensive inventory of liquors and wine, including a cooler.  The additional wet bar is replete with sink and glass rinser. 

The sink and glass rinser are set in a convex bar while the liquor hutch with refrigerator and wine drawer storage is harmoniously built into a corner alcove.

The trestle dining table was inspired by the Sorin dining table, but instead has more weight and boasts hand turned legs with mortise & tenon joinery.

This design process required a marriage of preferences from the couple ranging from a modern aesthetic to the ornate.  This desire for cleanliness with some traditionalism inspired the various elements of curvature in each piece. This also compliments the archways incorporated throughout the architecture of their home.

The Olin Coffee Table was commissioned by a family with two children who attend a local Waldorf school.  They desired a coffee table for a sun room in their home, but also wanted it to be a functional work space for the kids. The coffee table features a full width drawer on either side to house their portfolios, art supplies, and other school work.  The drawers have wooden slides and custom leather and steel drawer pulls. The dovetail joinery was a playful element added for the kid's benefit so they could experience the relationships between the sides being joined. The additional mortise & tenon construction gives stability to the piece.
