Arriving in New York in 1990, he made his home on a boat. Murat now builds custom furniture in his Vermont workshop.

With such a fondness for the open sea, and an eye for traditional craftsmanship, Murat's sea chests take you back to the golden age of sailing.

Murat also designs modern furniture that still relies on and highlights the beauty of traditional joinery and construction methods.
