helen - dining table and dresser
We have designed and made this commission as a present from mother to daughter. Our client wanted to encourage her daughter’s love for drawing at the same time gifting her a piece of furniture for her new home that would become a beloved family heirloom.
It's wonderful to know that the furniture we design and make, especially this type of commission, will always have a sense of place and time. The moment our client’s daughter has her first home, marked by receiving this wonderful gift that will enrich her life and hopefully the next generations as well. A piece that speaks the story of love between mother and daughter at this specific moment in their lives.
An extending dining table, that on the centre has an easel with paper storage, two troughs with for art supplies or cutlery with lids that also hold ceramic tiles and serve as hot plates. Table extends from 6 to 12-14 seating.
The fully extended table shows the beautifully crafted tile design, a ceramic table runner.
The extension leaves hang on the wall behind the grand piano as a panelled art piece, transforming themselves from functional to a work of art.
