Paramount Wood Co. feat. Jeffrey Greene Design

Jeffrey Greene has been professionally designing furniture for fifty years. His furniture, in rare solid woods, is among the most highly respected work being done in the field today. Influenced by the master George Nakashima, Jeffrey Greene has built on the foundation of Nakashima's work, and taken it in his own direction. Extraordinary large book matched slabs from consecutively milled pieces of burled black walnut, figured cherry, and huge single natural edge planks of Claro Walnut and African Bubinga (as large as 20' long and 6' wide), are fashioned into stunning dining and conference tables that may be shipped worldwide. Having come full circle back to the live edge, slab approach to construction that was pioneered by George Nakashima that was Jeffrey Greene's first work, the many years of intervening design experience has come into play in structural innovations and subtle proportional accents in his new pieces. Arguably some of the most durable furniture ever made, the relaxed sophisticated lifestyle implied by these wonderful and decidedly useable pieces gives a sense of satisfaction that will last for generation after generation. The design process is refined by the classical procedure of a multitude of freehand, artistic, conceptual drawings, followed by model making, technical drawings and pattern making. About a hundred drawing books filled with conceptual sketches, comparative details, and high accuracy finished renderings that Jeffrey Greene has produced over the years have honed his design skills to a fine edge. The prolific examples of original design that you can see on the website are the fruit of this labor. All Designs Copyright Jeffrey Greene Design
