MAC-d michael alexander crabtree DESIGN Playing + experimenting in furniture + art. Evolution led to collaborations with interior designers and custom commissions.

"Sometimes it is to meet and need or to fuel a fire, other times it is just to venture down a path. Inspiration is an unexplainable collision of people, architecture, challenges, purpose, emotion, experiences, light, shadow, movement..." - Michael Alexander Crabtree

MAC-d was originally founded upon social and environmental responsibility, creating a sustainable custom collection of furniture for

Shannon Elizabeth to support the Starkey Hearing Foundation. Maintaining the values of responsibility, Michael is now pursuing avant-garde designs in furniture, sculpture and other products; developing new concepts fabricated with top North American craftsmanship but at attainable purchase prices. Michael personally spends extensive time working hand-in-hand with the craftspeople to achieve the high level he demands. Please contact for purchasing or dealership enquiries. MADE IN CANADA

Custom trade show design + product development. Designed to stand apart from the competition the concept features large product display tables (designed to be modular, light weight, nest to ship, and easily set-up for multiple shows & booth sizes) and an evolution in the company's brand to showcase their market strength. I can't wait to see the final product set-up in California!

Success with the 3D printed prototype! Parts fit perfectly & the mechanics are smooth. Doesn't look like much but many many hours went into getting this design right.
