Individually handmade sanded plaster and metal. Stephen Antonson chandeliers can be found in two locations in the Partners’ room and in the foyer.

Stephen Antonson is a custom plaster artist that makes functional pieces inspired by the French and specifically the artist Hermann Obrist.

In 3 words, Stephen was asked to describe his work:  the answer was “subtle, handmade, elegant”.

“I love how versatile it (plaster) is.  You can sculpt it, tint it, paint with it.  I really like the fact that it is such a prosaic material but can be shaped into pieces that belie its humble makeup.”

Custom walnut veneer with Pashupatina handles. Similar cabinets with same handles are also found in the Partners’ Room, Library, and Foyer.

Steve Miller founded his studio in 1999 in San Francisco CA.  He designs and makes custom furniture and has a second studio in Yountville CA.  He frequently collaborates with architects and other designers, in the case of our cabinets, the handles are done by Pasupatina (also seen on front doors of Foyer and door handles in the Partners’ room and Veranda Tasting Room).

“We all know intuitively that life is better when we live, work, or play in a beautiful space.  Designers get to make that happen.  It’s a privilege and a challenge – and for me, joy.”  Steve Miller
