This dining room was designed to create a moody and cozy atmosphere. The dark blue wall colour ads an element of drama, contrasted by a gold branch sculpture on the wall and two sconces on the farther end. A heritage rustic dining table is softened by tufted cream coloured linen dining chairs and accented with gold cutlery.

Modern industrial minimal kitchen in with stainless steel cupboard doors, LED multi-light pendant over a central island. Island table shown here extended to increase the entertaining space, up to five people can be accommodated. Island table made from metal with a composite silestone surface. Bright blue metal bar stools add colour to the monochrome scheme. White ceiling and concrete floor. The kitchen has an activated carbon water filtration system and LPG gas stove, LED pendant lights, ceiling fan and cross ventilation to minimize the use of A/C. Bi-fold doors.

The Multi-Use Craft Armoire by Studio Designs combines a table and storage for a small space in your kitchen, office, or craft rooms. The drop leaf top can accommodate a small sewing machine, a laptop, or can be used for craft projects. Supplies can easily be hidden, so your work area stays tidy. This armoire’s enclosed vertical storage provides both versatility and a space saving design for smaller rooms. The swing-out support leg has a caster for easy placement and secures itself under the tabletop for a steady surface. This piece is perfect for anyone looking for a table and storage solution for a small space.

We named this design the 'Insignia' as to reference the building in Seattle where the original table (and bench set) now reside. The concept for the 'Insignia' table was motivated by minimalist-modern design and inspiration that arose from an admiration for Nakashima-style trestle bases. With our traditional 'Mez Works' style, we used dimensional walnut with a steel stretcher through the center of the tabletop to trace our 'Zeeva' and ‘Martis’ series tables, and the steel is treated with a ‘black-magic patina’ and clear powder-coat finish for an industrial element. The leaf mechanisms are drop leaf supports that are solidly built, structurally stable and sturdy to eliminate sagging. They lock in place automatically when raised, and are simple and quick to release. This design is very versatile, and as shown in the photos the table can be purposed as use for a desk. While folded down, the drop leaf hides a charging outlet that is secured to the base directly under the tabletop, while power is integrated by feeding the cord through the base all the way out through the bottom to a fixed outlet in the floor.

Before and Afters of an old drop leaf table we restored. It had a broken leg and a broken leaf. This customer was VERY happy with our work. This photo shows the before and after of the claw feet.
