Modern Furniture Design Using Traditional Methods
The angular ‘Dovetail’ joint is a favourite of Marc’s and has become our design signature. This classic joinery method has dual benefits for dependable construction and an accentuated yet simple decorative feature.
Contemporary characteristics incorporated into Marc’s furniture designs include gently rounded cabinet edges with slim ‘Finger’ joints, which combine with our integrated wooden handles for a fluid appearance.
