> Working with Dieter was an amazing experience. His vision and ability to communicate it is something you rarely see in this industry. From scribbles on a notepad to beautiful hyper realistic 3D mockups, Dieter takes you along and let's you see what he has in mind.
>
> He delivers on time, knows which levers to pull to keep you in budget, worked well with all parties involved (and in a NYC Coop, there are a lot).
>
> I can't wait for the next project to work on with him.

## Community Q&A

**Q: Dining Room light fixture** *(in Photo Questions)*

Hello, would you mind sharing who is the manufacturer of the pendant over the dining room table? Thank you!

A: Hi, it's a pendant lamp called 'Sorenthia Double': http://roomonline.com/product/hanging/sorenthia-lights/

**Q: UL Listing?** *(in Photo Questions)*

I'm in the process of finishing up a condo. Final inspection will require a UL listing for my CEA fixtures. I can't seem to find it anywhere? How were you able to get these approved in the US? Is there a European equivalent?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!!!!

A: We worked together with NY-based company MinimalUSA for the kitchen appliances and bathroom fixtures. Feel free to get in touch with them, they might be able to help you out!

**Q: Lighting!** *(in Photo Questions)*

Who makes the lights? Thanks!

A: Hi mrsbologna, the lights above the kitchen island are by Michael Anastassiades for Floss.

**Q: Table** *(in Photo Questions)*

Tell me, please what kind of wood was used for the table top.

A: Hi Alonavn, this table top used old Oak planks. We've since replaced the table with a custom table with a Walnut tabletop and a custom brass frame.

**Q: Floors** *(in Photo Questions)*

Any info on floors

A: Hi, it's actually a 'natural' (uncoloured) finished, applied after sanding the wood.

**Q: What is cabinet front surface material?** *(in Photo Questions)*

A: The front surfaces are white lacquered wood. The top surface is white Corian.
