David Koleshis

David creates distinctive furniture and accessories for the home. His use of neutral and muted colors speaks to his desire for the work to blend into the existing rooms of a home. Keeping an eye on trends, David creates pieces that will fit with changing decor. The work blends the use of natural wood with a technique he developed, which is similar to faux finishing.

The design elements that most clearly distinguish his work are the ribbed painted finish and the bird perched atop many of his pieces. The ribbed mirrors have a notch at the top in which the bird is perched. The mirrors, boxes, lamps and frames are finely crafted and will add style and sophistication to the home or office.

He began working with wood early in his life, taking art and wood working classes. But working with wood for a living only came after losing his job as an electronics cable inspector to foreign competition. As part of a retaining program, he was able to go back to school. David chose a professional craft program at Worcester Center for Crafts in Massachusetts where he trained as a furniture designer and builder.This hands on program with knowledgeable instructors enabled David to develop the skills need to create high quality home accessories and furniture.
