Daniel Finkelstein sits on a handmade wooden stool in his Chabanel workshop, surrounded by the organized chaos of lumber racks, power tools, and half-finished furniture pieces.
"To this day, whenever I draw a custom furniture piece that will go into a space, and when I first get the real version produced and I can touch it, I still always get that feeling of excitement..." he says, pausing.
"Like, I can't believe I drew this and it's real. I still get that feeling every time I make something."





Instead of imposing signature aesthetics for appeal on social media, Finkelstein disappears into his clients' needs, emerging with spaces that feel unique.
