On view and available for acquisition March 6 – June 13, 2026 at the Bainbridge Island Museum of Art. Interested collectors and clients are invited to inquire about acquiring exhibited works or commissioning tailored pieces.

Explore the collection below, or learn more about my practice and view additional work here.

The Nareau Collection is a cohesive series of six furnishings: a chair, liquor cabinet, table, pendant light, tea cabinet, and floor lamp. The collection began in 2024 with the Liquor Cabinet - the first completed piece and the foundation from which the rest of the series evolved.

Over time, the remaining five works were thoughtfully designed and brought to life across San Diego, Virginia, Maine, and my studio in Woodinville, Washington. Each location played a role in shaping the character and craftsmanship of the collection, resulting in a body of work that feels both unified and deeply considered.

I’m proud to present the full collection at the museum as a complete expression of this journey. Each piece is a one-of-one work, with no plans for duplication, and all are available for acquisition.

Following the exhibition, select designs - the Nareau Dining Chair, Pendant Light, and Occasional Table will be refined for small-batch production in my studio. These pieces are intended to bring the spirit of the collection into interior projects while maintaining the integrity of the original designs.

For designers interested in specifying these works from the Nareau Collection, or for collectors and homeowners seeking to live with unique, thoughtfully crafted furniture, I invite you to reach out for details, pricing, and customization opportunities.
