As I was designing this suit valet, I struggled with the balance between form and function. I wanted to take the classic furniture concept of a valet and give it a modern twist, while also retaining all the functionality of the original. In the end, my solution was simple: I combined traditional black walnut with the modern look of aluminum. The metal is fantastic to work into your designs. Carbide woodworking tools will machine and cut it very much like wood.
