Custom vanity - white cabinets x monkeyopod countertop

Here’s a vanity we custom built a few years ago. We matched white cabinets with an organic looking monkeypod slab countertop. The result is refreshing. The rounded end (right side) was left as is to keep its organic state as intact as possible.

Interview with furniture maker Satoshi Yamauchi

My wife and I founded the company in 2012, shortly after we moved to Hawaii from Japan. I have always wanted to own my company building custom furniture. We lived in Tokyo at the time we decided to move to Hawaii. During the summer of 2011 we visited Hawaii on a vacation to see if it is a place we would like to live and make a living doing a custom furniture business.
