Raleigh Home Desk: Product design.
The Raleigh Desk was developed in response to Design Within Reach’s request to expand the Raleigh Home Collection. The objective was to create a complementary hardwood desk that carries forward the refined proportions, material honesty, and craftsmanship of the celebrated Raleigh bedroom pieces. Designed for both residential and light work environments, the desk balances functional workspace requirements with a warm, architectural presence—integrating thoughtful details, durable construction, and manufacturing efficiency consistent with the broader collection.
“Raleigh reveals quality craftsmanship through subtle details. A solid wood storage drawer, which can be installed on either side, opens with an integrated drawer pull to reveal dovetail joinery. A storage compartment in the back keeps cables neatly concealed.”
Nestle Chair: Product development.
Designed by Brad Ascalon Studio, the chair program was developed in close collaboration with Stylex’s in-house team. Through the use of 3D CAD modeling and advanced prototyping techniques the urethane molded shell completed months of intensive design exploration and feasibility testing.
Nestle is GREENGUARD certified. It incorporates bio foam, and the shell is designed to limit rework and scrap during the manufacturing process, thus reducing waste.

Georgica Lounge Collection: Product design, development & art direction.
Walters Outdoor is an in-house brand formed under the Walters label. CDS was tasked with developing a product catalog that reflects a new contemporary offering. The Wainscott Collection is one of over fifteen exclusive lounge and table collections for Walters. Each collection thoughtfully designed with consideration for durable materials, vendor constraints and clear, concise specifications tailored to a dealer-focused sales model.
Dividends Skyline: Product design.
The new workstation boundary collection offers a variety of privacy solutions tailored to clients in professional services and adjacent industries. Featuring slim veneer and laminate screens, the system introduces a heightened sense of architectural discipline. Cubbies provide structured massing and visual order, while open shelving introduces porosity and allows natural light to flow through the space. Together, these boundary typologies strike a careful balance between acoustic and aural privacy.
Skyline Lounge is designed to create space-efficient opportunities for both informal collaboration and individual retreat within compressed floor plans. This systems-first approach ensures planning remains cohesive rather than eclectic, integrating seamlessly with surrounding workstations. Shared dimensions, consistent panel heights, cubical geometry, and harmonized materials reinforce the architectural language of the workstation environment, supporting a unified, intentional workplace landscape.
