SEA URCHIN BOX

£1,500.00

Out of stock

Twenty years ago, in the warmth of the Ionian Sea, I first encountered the spent shells of Paracentrotus lividus, the purple sea urchin. Here was the modern descendent of the fossilised urchins, discovered amongst the flint-strewn chalk downlands of my youth. I was blown away by the exquisite, fivefold symmetry and pattern left by its spiny defence.

This box, with its tenfold symmetry, is our homage to the lowly urchin’s sensual, fecund, domed beauty.

I love designing & making sideboards. They have got to be one of the most satisfactory pieces of furniture, created especially to make you feel together as they can hide such an abundance of stuff....Here we have an array of them designed & made in the last decade in a litany of British timbers...Bog oak, tiger oak, rippled ash & walnut. When my wife & I started our business in 1977 we had a simple adage that fitted our ethos ...we will design in Wiltshire, we will make in Wiltshire from timber that comes from as close to Wiltshire as possible. Now 46 year's later we are still doing so. All the timbers shown, with the exception of the bog oak, which came out of a bog near Peterborough, & the tiger oak from Hampshire, came from Wiltshire.. All were designed at Albany Studio & workshops or our new site at Lime Tree Studio & Workshops....we're getting there.

Oval table & tricorn chairs in English tiger oak,

Oval table & tricorn chairs in English tiger oak, that's an oak whose roots are being colonised by Fistula hepatica, the beefsteak fungus, which reacts with the tannin rich normally pale timber, turning it into this rich streaky brown, gorgeous timber. #interiors #diningtable #diningchairs #kitchentables #dining #eatingin #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace

A tad strange this week 'Cyclops' which originally was in response to design & make a large centrepiece to act as a space for the projector within a commodious home cinema, hence the height, however this turned out to be a brief moment in technology, soon to be superseded by flat screens, streaming & what have you... thus Cyclops became redundant.... or maybe not, its presence is such that I feel sure it will be reincarnated and find another purpose. My bet's on a drinks cabinet. It certainly needs a grand setting. It's made from some rather lovely rippled walnut..... it is a very patient beast.

What to do with those errant corners...some very significant kitchen manufacturers refuse to go round 'em. I like to see them as an opportunity to play, in this case as part of an home office & a wonderfully free brief, around an existing desk, a need to display part of a ceramic collection, some favoured books & two very important cricket bats. Great thoughts, great plans & significant solutions have subsequently flowed from this office #homeoffices #interiors #investinthefuture #supportpeopleinshes #lovenpeace

What to do with an errant corner...I love to play

What to do with an errant corner...I love to play with 'em, in this case with 'Tumbling Boxes' flowing down & around them. In this case the first lot are part of an home office, designed around the most wonderfully free brief needing to accommodate an existing desk, two particularly important cricket bats, a favoured collection of books & some ceramics. I threw in an end-grain quadrant oak cone, wall mounted just to go over the top! All the pieces are made from British timbers. The boxes in elms, the corner shelves & quadrant in oaks, the main shelving in creamy Wiltshire sycamore. The client has achieved awesome things within this space.

Lovely, lovely clients "could you design our bedroom?" " could you design a dining space?" "Could you design some shelving in the lobby?" It's a privilege to return their trust & submit drawings & even more of one if they like the ideas...& price... and ask us to go ahead to make & instal. This is the core of what we've been doing for 47 years. This dude likes his shoes, his eating & the family their books.....bring it on #design #interiors #bespokedesign #bespokemaking #bespokedesignandmake #bedrooms #diningrooms #library #design #making #artandcraft #creativity #supportpeopleinsheds #lovenpeace
