DESCRIPTION

Rare 1970’s Origami Dining Table by Don S. Shoemaker in Blue

Don Shoemaker, an American furniture designer, was born in Nebraska and raised in a well-established family. He studied at the Art Institute of Chicago during the 1930s, developing a strong foundation in art and design. In the late 1940s, after getting married, he traveled to Mexico on his honeymoon—a trip that would ultimately shape the course of his life and career. Captivated by the country’s landscape and culture, Shoemaker relocated there with his wife not long after. They settled in Santa María de Guido, a small town overlooking Morelia in Michoacán.

Surrounded by Mexico’s rich natural resources, he became particularly inspired by the region’s tropical hardwoods. This influence led him to begin crafting furniture using locally sourced materials. What started as a modest workshop in the late 1950s evolved into Señal S.A., a thriving operation that eventually employed over a hundred skilled artisans.

Shoemaker became an important figure in the local community, both economically and culturally, as his business contributed to the area’s growth and prosperity. He was also known for his generosity and kind spirit.

The furniture produced under Shoemaker’s direction at Señal S.A. blended modern design with traditional Mexican craftsmanship. Drawing inspiration from vernacular woodworking techniques, his pieces—often made from cocobolo and other fine woods—gained a reputation for their quality and beauty. His work was distributed internationally, appearing in showrooms across cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles, Houston, and throughout Mexico. His designs were especially popular among affluent clients, many of whom furnished entire homes with his collections.

Shoemaker and his wife, Barbara, embraced a lifestyle closely connected to nature, cultivating rare plants and maintaining a greenhouse.

Well made,
The leather is flawless, all the stitching is well done, the ability to organize my cards in groups worked out well. It's overall size is fine, fits well in a front pocket, flatter than a tri-fold, not bulky. My only wish would be making the width of the inner double sided leather card holder page pockets just 1/8" wider. In my opinion this would then be a 5-star wallet. One spot to hold some of the just wider than credit card size for easy access would be nice. Besides that, I intend to use it until it is worn out. Nice wallet!

Size matters
Color: Derrick Dark Brown, Size: One Size
The quality of the wallet is fine, but the size… it’s way to big to fit in a man’s pocket easily. I should’ve done a better job reading the measurements, but dang!

Nice looking wallet with two currency pockets and plenty of room for credit cards, etc.
Color: Derrick Dark Brown, Size: One Size
This is a truly great looking wallet. I have carried a "man-purse" (for lack of a better term) for years and have always carried a normal bi-fold wallet in it. There is room for this larger wallet, so I decided to give this one a try. So glad I did. I like the way it looks, love the RFID ability and enjoy the easy access to all credit and ID cards I need to carry. Some of the credit card slots are initially very, very tight, but I'm sure they will become easier to access with time and use. Because they are so tight now, I am aslo quite sure they will stay tight enough to hold cards securely after much usage. This is larger than the traditional style of men's wallet, so please be aware of that if you decide to buy one.
