Crum bed, bookcase and side tables

I visited Denver, Colorado for the month of Sept 2009 to make some furniture for my dad, Jim Helmkamp. This was an awesome project, time to both work and hang out with my dad for a wonderful visit! He even helped out with some of the finishing.

Thanks to Mark Mortenson, a Denver area photographer, for all the great photo work and taking on the monster task of photographing this huge bed.



Check out more photos of the Crum bed, sidetable and bookcase at

After building the bed and bookcase at Cliff Whitehouse's studio
Bernwood Custom Design in Denver I returned to build the sidetables in Asheville, NC and had them transported by an art courier to my dad in Lakewood, CO.



The Crum series of furniture is made from maple, sapele,
sapele pomelle veneer and black aluminum.

New studio space for Kamp Studio

Kamp Studio will be moving from Tim Barnwell's building at 244 Short Coxe, a few blocks closer to downtown, into 81 Lexington Ave. Moving at the end of April and in action in early May!

I will be joining Aaron Maret www.aaronmaret.com

I am really excited about the move. Lots of good energy at 81 Lexington and I hope to bring even more.
