Custom Furniture maker Darrell Peart is Proud to Introduce an Arts & Crafts Original Design: The Aurora Pedestal Desk
Seattle, WA (PRWEB) July 3, 2007 -- Drawing upon a long tradition of superb craftsmanship and functional design, Darrell Peart introduces the Aurora Pedestal Desk.
The design is a Darrell Peart original but finds inspiration not only in the designs of Arts & Crafts era architects Greene & Greene, but also from the work of James Krenov as well as Seattle's historic Aurora Bridge.
As a small company, Darrell Peart Furnituremaker places a premium upon attention to detail, fine joinery, and flexibility to meet customer needs. The desk comes standard in beautifully finished ribbon-cut African mahogany but can also be ordered in any commercially available hardwood. Standard features include many exquisite details such as inlaid ebony and a solid wood top. Clients may also specify custom features and dimensions as well as one of a kind companion pieces.
The Aurora Pedestal Desk along with the entire Aurora series is targeted to the upscale executive user as well as collectors, designers, architects, decorators and owners of Arts and Crafts era Bungalows.
Additions to the Aurora Office collection are currently in production.
