The City of Fortuna built this beautiful building on the banks of the Eel River, using local woods and companies as much as possible. We were delighted to participate in the project. We designed and constructed furnishings using Madrone and Tanoak woods, which are growing locally. As you can see, the chairs are Madrone and the tables are Tanoak panels in Madrone framework. Both woods are gaining popularity partly due to this wonderful showcase.

A modular Conference table and chairs designed for a variety of uses.

Madrone chairs constructed with wedged, through Mortise and Tenons. This is a very high quality, classical technique used to ensure a long, useful life for chairs that will see a lot of use.

Dry Bars used for receptions, etc. at the River Lodge. These photos show the Tanoak panels and Madrone framework. We used black plastic laminate for the high use surfaces. Click on the pictures for more detailed photos that also show the adjustable, rollout shelving and large locking casters. The River Lodge is multi purpose. These bars see use in various parts of the building as needed.
