Mark Palmquist Design

I had an italian marble top kitchen table for 25 years. I was tired of the country style table base but I loved the marble top. I asked Mark Palmquist to design and build a new base for me. He asked me few question about the style I liked and within few hours he had 4-5 3D sketches for me. I had finally made a decision but I still had something else in mind that I wanted to achieve. Mark took the time to design the perfect modern table for me. A design not only estetically beautiful but also constructed keeping in mind the weight of the marble top. The marble appears to float over the slightly angled tempered legs. It's perfect.

I first admired Mark's original wood furniture at a neighbor's. My husband and I first hired him to design and build a custom cherry and walnut console to support a large plasma TV and supporting sound system. My husband and I enjoyed participating in the design process. Mark knew exactly how to enhance the design with wood trim accents, high end hardware, ventilation for audio components, and troughs in the back to hide cables. He was amazingly fast, reliable and fun to work with. We thought we'd order a companion piece in a few years but we couldn't wait!

Mark has designed and built 2 wonderful desks and a kitchen table for me. He is a real craftsman taking time to understand the function of the piece and people who will use it.
