Bespoke Furniture
for Paradise Valley Homes
Paul Rene creates original furniture as art for clients in Paradise Valley, Arizona. A dining table,
a private study, a sculptural centerpiece: each commission begins with a conversation about
the person who will live with it. From the Phoenix studio, Paul Rene develops works with their
own purpose, presence, and place in the home.
A room can be beautifully furnished and still feel as though something is missing. Often, it is a reflection of the person who lives there. Paul Rene listens to your story, studies the space, and translates what matters to you into shape. The result is functional art with a reason to exist in your home—made to be lived with, encountered, and remembered.

The distance between an idea and an object.
An original work is not chosen from a catalog. Here is one Paul Rene commission as it moved from drawing to workshop to finished form.
No. 01 · A Private Commission
The Drawing
A form first appears on paper. Proportion, material, and the relationship between the pieces are considered before anything is built.
No. 02 · A Private Commission
In the Workshop
The curves take shape in the shop. The work between the drawing and the finished piece is where an idea meets the judgment and skill of the maker.
No. 03 · A Private Commission
The Finished Work
The completed forms meet the red velvet seating. What began as a drawing now has a presence in the room and a life beyond the page.
A Private Commission
Begins with Listening.
You may arrive with a precise idea or only a feeling about what the room needs. We begin there. Paul Rene listens to your story, learns about the space, and considers what you want the work to express. Sketches and design studies give that idea form. Materials and proportions are refined before the piece is made. Throughout the process, the purpose remains clear: to create furniture that could belong to no one else in quite the same way.
I.
Made for the Room. Made for the Person.
A Paradise Valley residence may have remarkable architecture and views. The furniture should have a relationship to that setting while retaining an identity of its own. We consider how a piece sits in the room, how you move around it, and how it will be used over time.
II.
From Idea to Original Furniture
A commission develops through conversation, sketches, proportions, material choices, and visual studies. Each decision brings the work closer to your original intention while leaving room for artistic discovery.
III.
Furniture Made to Live With
A table, chair, library, or sculptural work becomes part of daily life. We create with that life in mind: pieces to use, contemplate, and keep meaningful for years to come.

What kinds of furniture can I commission?

Do I need to have a finished design in mind?
No. Bring a room, an idea, a problem to solve, or a feeling you have not yet found in existing furniture. The design develops through conversation and visual studies.
Can you work with my interior designer or architect?
Yes. A commission can be developed in conversation with the professionals shaping your home, so the work has a considered relationship to its setting.
How is a private commission different from the Kallos Collection?
A private commission is developed for an individual client and project. Kallos consists of Paul Rene designs offered as signed, numbered limited editions.
