What a statement this example makes. It’s hard not to slide into estate agent-speak when describing this piece of custom furniture….’This stunning example of an oak wardrobe must be viewed to be fully appreciated’ etc etc. It really is quite special, a very bold and ambitious piece of bespoke furniture which was commissioned to be one of the main design focal points in a master bedroom.
It has been created using the very best oak. It’s what Kenny describes as ‘green oak style’ – even though it’s been made from fully kiln dried furniture grade oak, the style of the dovetails and wooden nails is reminiscent of the way you would work with external green oak structures.
It has been crafted by the team so that all of it’s curves and lines fit together seamlessly without any obvious hinges or metalwork. You can see the traditional handmade wooden nails in the detail shot, and the care and attention that’s been taken over this piece in the timber selection and craftsmanship.
The oak has been worked to create arches, and the panel in the main door has been done by butterflying a piece of pippy oak so that symmetry is applied. This is one of our finest and a spectacular start to 2013 from both a design and manufacturing point of view.
