Surreal Furniture Design Collection

Kneeling legs make this piece, in mahogany, the perfect height for a coffee table. At the same time, Lunin designed a charming, sculptural focal point-surprise for any room. Ball and claw legs illustrate the finest Chippendale furniture craftsmanship.

With three of its legs partially missing, this wall mounted Sheraton style nightstand in tiger maple appears to float. The brass-topped mahogany walking stick is an elegant structural member that helps steady the piece.

Look again: Is this solid cherry table walking? Its crooked legs were fashioned to look like they are in motion!

On a traditional Windsor style candle stand in cherry, David Lunin carved a solid sycamore top to simulate a draped cloth caught in a breeze.

Lunin is inspired by a Shaker style candle stand using a tiger maple base and a solid sycamore top that he carves to simulate a draped cloth caught in a breeze.

The imaginary wind that’s blowing the faux cloth of solid maple on this nightstand picks up a corner, letting a bit of the cherry table peek through, while the front of the sculpted “cloth” achieves the pattern of textile in a breeze. The base is cherry.

Lunin makes you look twice with an eye-tricking, head-turning perspective.  The chest is actually  a cabinet with doors that swing open to reveal a finely finished interior with an adjustable shelf.

A leg of this traditional Windsor style table in tiger maple is broken, causing the table to look like it will fall over any minute, but it won’t. It’s sturdy. A graceful bentwood cane is tenoned in place and does the job of a third leg.

This bench appears to be a rickety, amateur creation. It’s actually sturdy and solid. The top is constructed of highly figured cherry. The faux book, “Unique Furniture” by David Lunin, has a custom-made leather binding. The painted cement block and book are facades that cover solid wood legs.

Lunin started with a Windsor style stool in cherry. For the back, he designed ash wood arrows that appear to pierce the seat. With his magical way with wood, Lunin carved a crest rail in cherry to look as though folds of a fabric rest on each of the chair spokes.

This three-legged Windsor style table, in cherry and tiger maple with an inlaid top, shows off the wood grains in plays of positive/negative swirls and circles. The tables stretchers and legs meticulously carry through the yin and yang theme: cherry, maple and a combination of the two.

This is a straight-on view of a deceivingly “square-shaped” mirror is based on a concept thought to be developed by Leonardo da Vinci called “anamorphic projection.” The frame, is typical Queen Anne style, made from walnut with an inlaid star in holly.
