Mini Bar

After the sculptural screen, another fun job we learned about late last winter resulted in a mini-bar with mosaic inlay. The color and design of the mosaics were designed to fit in a mid-century modern-inspired room.

Kyle built the cabinetry from red oak. We thought the piece looked pretty cool with the inlay shapes routed out, before the mosaic even went in!

Filling in the mosaic. The blue tape is protecting the stainless steel edging on the corners.

Grouting was pretty tricky for this piece. Lots of blue tape to protect the wood, and working on the vertical presents a different set of challenges!

Mosaics complete! There wasn't room to work in the mosaic studio, so Johannah worked on this piece in the metal studio.

The top and edges of the mini-bar are finished in stainless steel.

Finished mini bar off to be installed!

Made in RVA: Handmade Furniture & Lighting Show & Sale

Next month we're excited to be participating in a show of handcrafted furniture created by 15 local artisans. The show is hosted by the folks at LaDiff  who have gone above and beyond helping to organize and promote this show. We're honored this local institution of modern design believes in and supports the Richmond maker community.

We've created a set of three custom tables especially for this show, a console table and two end tables. These tables have forged steel bases and reclaimed heart pine tops, each with glass mosaic inlay. They bring clean, modern lines together with the timeless feeling of handmade work. Check out the work-in-progress photos below!

Heavy Duty Forged Table Legs

This client reached out to us about creating some hefty forged table legs for a dining table. Sawmill Solutions cut the white oak slabs used to create the natural edge top.
