my story 

A design aesthetic that embraces fluidity of form, the love of color and the magic of contrast.  But at the same time, mindful of the gifts that nature has bestowed upon us and conserving them as much as possible. That is what P. Carlino Design is all about.     

My name is Paul Carlino and I am the owner of P. Carlino Design. My woodworking journey began almost 4 decades ago. In the beginning, I utilized the most basic of tools, building simple and practical woodworking projects for my growing family. My work space was a cramped garage. 

Fast forward to today. My woodworking studio is state-of-the-art and no longer the size of a closet. My focus is creating high-end furniture of my own design. Mass-production is not in my vocabulary. All my work is one-off, completely hand-made and intended to be appreciated by a select few. Next to design, meticulous craftsmanship is my top priority. 

Over the years, I have been invited to and/or have exhibited my work at shows in Philadelphia, Atlanta, Washington DC, Chantilly VA, Northampton MA, Southampton NY and various locations in Upstate New York. My work has been shipped to clients across the United States, not to mention the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Australia. 

To this day, I continue to create new designs, experiment with different techniques and sample new wood species in order to update, refresh and expand my portfolio. The rewards are many but the greatest reward of all is to have appreciative individuals praise my work, fall in love and make an acquisition.

So, I hope you enjoy browsing these web pages to view samples of my work. You will undoubtedly have questions and I am always here via phone or e-mail to answer them. 

Let’s create an heirloom together!
