Hey all - coming up for air as its been a crazy spring-going-in-to-summer. Chajo shop buzzing as usual... several projects in the mix - custom desk, 2 custom beds, built-in slab headboard, bubinga dining table, et al. Each very cool + we feel blessed
...
In spare time we've been noodling on new coffee bench design (cross between coffee table + bench.) Here's where we landed - pics attached - aimed for super clean + sophisticated, yet able to fit in most any environment... what do you think?

More coming soon... enewsletter later this week, so sign-up at www.chajo.com and like our page for future updates!

Last year this time a client called wanting a side table to surprise his wife for mother's day... Jon designed and built the piece -- and it was so cool that I had to have one... near certain I for got to share so here you go!

We were asked about a storage piece this week and reminded me I hadn't posted this buffet Jon built. The client wanted equal balance of metal and wood... and tons of storage! Jon chose African Mahogany for it's unique "flame" figure with lots of movement. The frame is burnished bronze steel, and drawer pulls match. Knowing lots of china would be stored in bottom drawers, Jon reinforced to handle the weight.
Client was pleased -- the "simply beautiful buffet" she wanted for her house by the sea!

OK, been meaning to share this for a while -- many of you know Jon won (another :) award for Functional Art at Sausalito Art Festival. We both think this bench was the reason why this year.... stacks of welded steel, bolts, beautiful Claro Walnut slab finished with 2 beautiful Ebony bow ties... what's not to love?!
