We’ve all wished for nice pieces of furniture that can brighten up a living space or add to the decor of a room. Now imagine that every piece of furniture in your house or apartment was an art piece of its own. That doesn’t mean it can’t be functional. Look at the beautiful pieces below and let me know what you think!

Dolphin Chairs
Whale-Tail dining chairs made of South American Bloodwood and African Mahogany for a client who lives near the beach in Southern California. Custom made to compliment a gorgeous table featuring bronze dolphins. Price: $1,600 each
I love the colors of the fabric, and the chairs don’t look too uncomfortable.

Leaf Design Coffee Table
Leaf design coffee table made of Exotic South American Bloodwood. Bloodwood is one of the most beautiful exotic woods with deep colors and a gorgeously smooth texture. This wood almost purrs. A perfect combination of beautiful wood and elegant design. Shown here without the glass. Price: $1,800
This piece is beautiful and usable. Plus I love the wood.

Cherry Wood Chair
Cherry wood chair with black walnut back. The cattail design in walnut is inlayed into the back even overlapping the edges in one or two places for added charm. Price: $1,600
Gorgeous, though it looks like something you’d rather look at than sit on.

.

Black Lacquer Dining Table
Gorgeous contemporary art black lacquer table with a graceful wave design rippling through it beneath the glass. Custom made for a client in Virginia Beach shown here in their home. Price: $9,000
I’ve never seen a table with a design like that, though I’d prefer any color other than black.

Bloodwood Coffee Table
These designs with exotic woods and rich colors are very carefully proportioned and worked out in every detail. South American bloodwood natural and dyed black. Price: $4,200
Very unusual. I love the clean simple look, and it looks usable too.

I like “90 Degree Shelf in acrylics and different colors”. Vivid colors and modern, contemporary linies. Full of light, full of life.
