The Lyon Daybed Finds a Home in Architectural Digest

We love it when our pieces end up exactly where they belong - and the Lyon Daybed, tucked into a sunlit reading nook of a new Adirondack-style retreat in Carmel, New York, is a perfect example.

The home, featured in Architectural Digest and designed by Amanda Jesse and Whitney Parris-Lamb of Jesse Parris-Lamb, was built for a New York family of four as a gathering place away from their busy lives, a house meant to hold muddy tennis shoes and quiet reading afternoons in equal measure.

Beyond the daybed, we worked closely with the Jesse Parris-Lamb team on something more architectural: a custom room divider that carves a hallway out of what was once open space. The piece pairs a hand-woven upper panel - see-through from both sides - with a shiplapped cherry wood lower section below, built to case three structural beams that dictated the entire design and construction.

Every board came from a single piece of wood for grain consistency, then was milled down to 3/32", oiled, and hand-woven into a pattern developed in close collaboration with the designers. It's the kind of exacting, back-and-forth build we love most, where structure, craft, and design have to solve the same problem together.

Every piece we make starts on our workbenches in Santa Fe, built to move with the dry Southwest air. It's always a joy to see that craft travel across the country and settle into a thoughtful design of a home.
