about white design
Furniture has always been a powerful draw in my life. As a teen, I pored over
Architectural Digest and home-interior magazines, losing myself for hours in a world of
beautiful objects. My first job out of college was stuffing pillows at a custom-furniture
business.
Later, after getting out of drug rehab in 1989, it was factory work at a furniture plant that saved my life. No longer on the sidelines drooling over glossy pictures or fulfilling a mindless unskilled task, I was where the
real action was, building something. Table tops and drawer
panels, to be specific. I worked the glue reel; a huge automated clamping machine. The job
was physically demanding and I loved it.
In 2004, I got interested in feng shui and reaaranged the 2-bedroom apartment I lived in, leaving me without a coffee table. I searched high & low at all the local stores, even Santa Fe and found nothing so I ended up going to a big box store, bought some plywood and my first coffee table was born.
