Project Overview
After returning to California in 1998, I established a small design business where I continued developing many of the furnishing concepts I had explored during my years with Antares Miami. Working on a smaller scale allowed me to focus on transforming individual pieces into artistic furnishings while continuing my commitment to reusing materials with history and character.
Design Story
Building on the philosophy developed at Antares Miami, I continued to search for furnishings with character and history, giving them new life through paint, artistic detailing, and creative design. Rather than replacing old furniture, I chose to celebrate its past while creating something completely new.
Inspired by the Bay Area Green Movement, my Marin County team enthusiastically embraced the use of reclaimed furnishings. We transformed old pieces with hand-painted Mexican floral designs, brightly colored chairs, and bold artistic details that reflected the playful spirit of the collection.
One project featured a Cubist-inspired design painted across the front of a chest of drawers, while another incorporated meteor stones embedded into the drawer fronts to create a celestial theme. These pieces demonstrated how ordinary furnishings could become distinctive works of art through imagination and careful craftsmanship.
One advantage of working in California was the opportunity to create small themed environments within an industrial warehouse. These staged settings allowed visitors to experience complete artistic themes rather than viewing individual pieces alone, creating a more immersive design experience.
What Made This Project Unique
Antares California allowed me to continue the creative philosophy that began in Miami while exploring new artistic directions. By combining reclaimed furnishings with imaginative themes and immersive display environments, I was able to create pieces that celebrated both their history and their transformation. Many of these furnishings continue to be featured today, with new pieces regularly added to the collection.
