Influenced by the simple elegance of Japanese and Shaker woodworking traditions, Dominik explores a variety of ideas and techniques to create one-of-a-kind furnishings and cabinetry that will complement your existing or planned home décor. 
 
 

While esthetic appeal and structural integrity are primary considerations in Dominik's work, he pays particular attention to the surface finish.  Incorporating figured woods as design elements, Dominik enjoys using exotic veneers for their beauty and diversity of application.

Dominik enjoys working in partnership with each of his clients to create functional designs in wood that reflect personal style and taste. These collaborations lead to the development of unique pieces, ranging from traditional, through contemporary, to the unusual. 

Dominik's designs reflect his concern for quality and longevity. He accomplishes this by utilizing traditional tools, techniques and technologies, as well as modern machinery and materials. The result is a unique custom-designed functional art piece that his clients and their families will use and enjoy for a lifetime, and beyond. Commissions include exquisite solid wood and veneered furniture pieces, stylish yet functional wall-units, and custom-designed kitchens and bathrooms.

Dominik immigrated to Canada from Germany in 1979. After graduating from Queen's University in 1986, with a degree in Mathematics, he began to apply his talents to fine woodworking and, in 1990, opened his own studio in the countryside north of Kingston, Ontario. Each fall, Dominik participates in a studio tour organized by a number of local area artists and craftspeople. For more information about the tour contact Dominik, or visit
