Arostegui Studio Furniture & Design

We hired Cristian to design and manufacture us a dining room table. We gave Cristian our basic ideas for a design and he took it from there. He developed a set of digital renderings with varying design. He gave us excellent advice on design ideas throughout the process. Once we decided on a final design Cristian complete the project in a matter of weeks. The end result was a gorgeous, solid, and stunning walnut harvest table with a metal base. I can't say enough about how amazing Cristian was to work with. He is extremely talented, professional, and hardworking. Cristian is passionate about his work and it shows! He made our dream table a reality!

When one is designing one’s environment it helps to have bright, sensitive, knowledgeable and collaborative people on your team. Cristian Arostegui proved to be that kind of designer. A good designer listens to the client then crystallizes the essence of the client in the design. Cristian invited ideas as he listened to my likes and dislikes, and answered my questions offering ideas that resolved questions within the scope of his design. The table Cristian designed and built for me enjoys beautiful workmanship, a love of the material and humour. Working with him was fun and I would do it again.

Cristian was absolutely wonderful to work with throughout the entire project. He was very respectful of, and receptive to, our ideas, and combined them with his own artistry and expertise to create a beautiful, and functional piece of art - a music stand. He was always very open and communicative about all aspects of the project, and his attention to every detail was superlative. He also kept within our budget and completed it well within our required timeline. We are thrilled with his beautiful creation and would love to work with him again.

Pros: - Cristian came to my space and did measurements and a thorough consultation of what I was after. - The desk was built with quality materials, construction with both a functional and beautiful design - Cristian tailored each element to suit both my requirements, space restrictions, and taste. - Because of the exact measurements, the desk goes perfectly in my space, and, like a well tailored suit, looks just that much better. - The functionality and height of the desk means that I have no shoulder pain when I sit for long periods. Cons: - I can't think of any negatives!

Cristian was an absolute delight to work with. From design to the build the process was simple straightforward and the product was/is spectacular. We enjoy the piece daily.
