Eidolon Designs is a team of craftsmen and designers lead by husband-and-wife Mike Parker and Ann Cowperthwaite. We specialize in custom designed high-quality furniture, special architectural projects integrating diverse materials, and millwork for clients who value the personal over the manufactured. Our work is handmade in a downtown Raleigh studio since 1996. 

Mike uses his creative engineering and fabrication expertise to assure structural integrity, Ann her thoughtful visual articulation to assure beautiful presentation, and our craftsmen their skill to create products designed to last a lifetime. 

This is our way: a few artisans with a passion for our craft. Creating by hand takes a measurable part of our lives and we like it this way. The "Eidolon Way" values integrity over expediency.

**★★★★★ — BuildSense, Nov. 2015**

> We have worked with Ann and Mike and the crew at Eidolon on numerous projects over the years. There are many reasons we continue to work with them. They are professional, courteous, conscientious, smart, friendly, and detail-oriented. Additionally, they are plainly good people, and it is always better to work with good people. Last, it is a pleasure to know that they are ultra-critical of their own work. They review and critique their installed work to the highest standards and make any necessary adjustments prior to our walk-through and review. It is a relief to work with a trade partner who takes such pride in their work and the overall project.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Love the garage doors! Can you tell me where to find them?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: These were custom made in our Studio.  See our website, www.eidolondesigns.com.  We would be happy to work with you.
Ann

**Q: cost of chair?** *(in Photo Questions)*

really like the looks of this chair/ladder--what is the cost, where can I buy it.

A: Hello theBauer, we at Eidolon Designs made this custom chair. All of our furniture is one-of-a-kind and made by hand in our downtown Raleigh studio.   
If you would like something similar, please call Ann at 919-833-5117 to discuss.

**Q: What is the vanity material/finish?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I apologize for the delay in response to your question.  This is 20 quage stainless steel, mounted on 3/4" melamine.  We fabricated the doors to size and our standard 2mm tolerance reveals, before specifying the sizes to Stainless Steel Fabricators, here in Raleigh, NC.  A push-latch door opening was installed, but shortly after the clients moved in, they requested tab, top of door mount pulls.

**Q: Do you have a spec on the lights above the garage doors?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: I apologize for the delayed response of 1 year plus!  We do not have the specifications of the lights.  These were selected by Alphin Design Build, Raleigh, NC.

**Q: What can you share about mirrors?   Thanks.** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The cabinets were specified and fabricated at our shop in Raleigh, NC.

**Q: What kind of floor is that?** *(in Photo Questions)*

Material?

A: Stained and polished concrete flooring.
