Didn't know much about Maloof, only that his chairs caught my eye
years ago - even though I failed to recognize the name of the man who
designed them. Made the connection to his name while watching a
Modern Masters program on HGTV a couple of years ago that showed his
unique style of bandsawing chair parts - and that is what stuck in my
mind at the time - that and his curvy chair designs.

I do like the finish on his pieces. Also the rounded edges on drawer fronts,
rails, and stiles on his inset drawer cabinets caught my eye the first time
I saw them and I've heard since that it's his inspiration/influence.

It's all those little natural elements that add up to pleasing Maloof
designs, although I am normally much more of a functional
Stickley/Mission/Prairie/Bungalow kinda guy in my furniture and architecture
tastes.
