Earlier this year I was able to build a custom display case for Dana Killion, a clothing designer here in Chicago. She recently opened a new boutique and asked that I build two more pieces for her new shop!

13. Furniture Updates: Design Cloud Chicago
I thought I would offer an update on what I’ve been up to lately! Earlier this year, I became involved in a design studio start-up called Design Cloud Chicago (d:cl). We’re now fitting out the new space in the West Loop of Chicago, and I’m finishing up some custom furniture for our enjoyment! Pics to follow:
10. Cantilever Shelving for my Shoe Collection
If you know me very well, you probably are aware of my love for well-crafted or unique shoes. I designed and built this custom shelving unit specifically to organize my (excessively large) shoe collection. The shelf spacing increases by one inch per shelf, allowing for a variety of shoes to be shown neatly.
09. Custom Display Case for Killion
Having recently graduated from architecture school, I’ve decided to pass the time while looking for a job by designing and building custom furniture. This is a display case I designed and built for a small clothing boutique in the south loop of Chicago. She wanted something that was mid-century modern, and my inspiration was taken from the Chest of Drawers by George Nelson. Details include rounded corners and flush-mounted safety glass, with a pull-out drawer for access.
