The design of our new building incorporates the principal architectural elements of the Prairie style introduced by Frank Lloyd Wright in the early 20th Century. The strong emphasis on the horizontal lines of the structure, the simplicity of the materials, particularly the use of natural wood, and the horizontally grouped windows lying just below the long, low roof line, reflect the influence of the Prarie style.
All of the furnishings in our showroom were designed by Michael Holtz and fabricated by Der Holtzmacher, Ltd. Each exhibits the linear clarity and synthesis of form and function typical of the Craftsman style of furniture of the early 20th Century. The Craftsman style provides a natural and fitting complement to the Prairie style of architecture in its emphasis on the structural, rather than decorative, element of the design. Our showroom features a coffered wood ceiling and wall paneling with quarter-sawn oak panels.
The straight, simple lines of the
oak mantle in our showroom are accented by the decorative mahogany brackets. The focal point
of our faux fireplace surround is the oak tree, our company logo, hand-carved and then cast
in solid bronze. The rich, reddish-brown hue of the mahogany provides a handsome frame for the
deep burgundy Corian incorporated into the design.
Our entertainment center is made of oak with solid bronze hardware. As in all of our cabinetry, the drawers are joined using dove-tail construction and provide ample space for storage. The TV area utilizes pocket door hardware and a pullout, swivel base.
A focal point of our showroom is our spacious conference table, made of
solid Honduras mahogany with an anigre veneer top. The design of our table
exemplifies the straight, simple lines of the Craftsman style. A clear catalyzed
varnish was applied to bring out the natural grain and color of the rich mahogany
and the iridescence of the highly figured anigre.
All of the furnishings
in our showroom are made of solid mahogany. The design of the window benches and end tables, consisting of
interconnecting strips of mahogany, is indicative of the pre-eminent concern for the
structural methods of furniture building typical of the craftsman style. The lines
are simple and pure, form follows function yet maintains an emphasis on the inherent beauty of
the wood.
Our new 10,500 square foot production facility features state-of-the-art equipment guaranteeing precision and efficiency for the fabrication of our furniture, cabinetry and millwork. A specially-equipped finishing room ensures finishes that are beautiful, yet highly durable and moisture resistant.
Our Weinig moulder enables us to produce all types of millwork
in any quantity required. We begin by cutting and grinding the profiles for our knives. Then we
select the finest hardwoods for our millwork. We can create or duplicate virtually any
millwork profile required for your project.
