Mike Bell, Inc. custom capabilities are unmatched. Who else could conceive of a fabulous and unusual piece, present renderings, produce full scale drawings and samples for approval, and lovingly build an item without a designer's constant supervision. Joann Westwater, President of Mike Bell, Inc., assisted by the invaluable production team, is able to create and execute any piece imaginable.
Beautiful old carvings are often incorporated into the designs of paneled rooms, or the graceful lines of fabulous old armoires are revisited in the designs of new cabinets that can conceal audio visual systems. Low cabinets can be built that look 300 years old, but conceal a lift mechanism holding your large flat screen television.
We also can also build contemporary furniture that has the quality solid wood construction of a time long gone. Many of our current projects have been designed to marry today's popular Art Deco and Mid Century aesthetic with the needs of the client.
The Mike Bell, Inc. staff can also incorporate your own beloved items into new and gorgeous pieces of furniture. Do you have a beloved table base that you can't part with, but needs a new top for your foyer? An armoire,that would be perfect in the study, with bookcases on either side for display? Would that old French buffet be fabulous with a silver leafed finish? Or would a sensuous fabric lining enable your old pine cabinet a new life in the guest room?
Every project receives our personal attention and is done in our own Chicago facility, insuring the outstanding quality on which Mike Bell, Inc. has prided itself for over 45 years.
