Its not easy being green.  

But when you've got Walnut planes to counter your hue,  the scales can tip in your favor...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This set of stacked-lowboy and highboy dressers, implements a contrast of "plastic" and "organic" materials that runs through much of my work.  For example,  the solid pigmented varnish against the French Walnut tops and Wenge edging.   The 2 pieces are modular,  so they can stand by themselves or together.   For example,  the stacked asymetrical dresser can have its high side go right into a corner of the room.    The low level can also double as a bench,  for those of us needing some extra help putting on our shoes in the morning.     

Drawers are dovetailed Maple boxes with full extension undermount glides with "soft-close" feature.  Knobs are brushed stainless and leather-wrapped pulls.   

We've also made these with an "Armoire" module instead of the Highboy.
