three-drawer case on stand

16 3/4''D 22 1/4''W 37''H
European Beech and Sugar Pine
Satin water-based lacquer finish

This chest of drawers is my May 2010 work . Its petite size and accessible height suggest a multitude of minimalist storage solutions . The client for whom this piece was designed and made will be using it as a nightstand , but the form of the piece could easily be repurposed to a full chest of drawers , lingerie chest , media cabinet , sideboard , filing cabinet etc. The case features a blend of purist straight lines and subtle curves . The double-tapered legs have a soft flare and lend the piece a graceful yet solidly planted stance . The sweet-smelling Sugar Pine drawers exhibit my usual full hand-cut dovetail joinery and my signature "hole pull" drawer pulls . The drawer front "pulls" are accentuated with Beech inlays .
