Ricardo VasquezFor the past 25 years Ricardo Vasquez has been designing and creating unique custom furniture and cabinetry that satisfies client’s requirements for functionality while adding beauty to their environment.

 
 

Largely self-taught Ricardo Vasquez has designed and built custom interiors for mega-yachts, executive offices and furniture pieces for private homes.

Ricardo Vasquez works with hand-selected quality woods and veneers, incorporating metals, glass and stone as needed by the design. Combining the unique character and beauty of various woods and materials in a way that complements each design is what makes Ricardo Vasquez’s work come alive.

Ricardo Vasquez believes in the value of old-fashioned craftsmanship but avails himself of the latest techniques and materials to produce truly outstanding free standing furniture and built-in cabinetry.

His goal is to design, construct and deliver a piece that exceeds his client’s expectations.

“It’s better than I ever expected!” is the phrase he likes to hear at the completion of a project.
