Leo Highboy
The Leo Highboy is contemporary take on a traditional highboy. The hardwood case has a continuous grain match waterfall miter from side to top to side. 6 solid maple drawer boxes slide easily with self closing slides. The flume knobs are turned on a lathe then further shaped by hand with rasps and sanded, creating a pull that is very tactile and so fun to touch with your fingers and thumb. Available in custom sizes and configurations.

Phloem Studio
Phloem [floh-em] (noun) – the vascular structure in plants that provides nutrients through photosynthesis.
Founded by designer/craftsperson Benjamin Klebba in 2010, PHLOEM STUDIO creates timeless contemporary furniture with an emphasis on natural materials and traditional joinery. All pieces are designed by Benjamin and occasional collaborators.
Ben grew up in the Great Lake state of Michigan in the woods across the street from Lake Huron. His father built the house he grew up, the furniture inside it, and sailboats their family would sail on Lake Huron. This left a lasting impression. After college, Ben moved to Chicago, first apprenticing for a luthier building acoustic guitars, then working for a master furniture maker. Ben moved to Portland, Oregon and PHLOEM STUDIO was formed. Ben's family has since moved out to Oregon and his dad now works for PHLOEM.
