The Deadseas

We left Oliver, one of our good gents, alone in the store front with a camera the other day.  We received a load of amazing vintage stock and he decided to snap some photos and document a few pieces.  The are some seriously unique items in the shop right now.  We came across a beautiful vintage tambourine, a civil war crate, some vintage military gear and a great set of industrial lockers to name a few.  We’ll be open again on thursday as usual.  If you’d like to come by and see whats on hand before, please let us know and we’d be happy to show you around.  Items to be added to the online shop in the near future….

The Deadroads

This desk is a from a set of 3 we were commissioned to make for a recent project.   The client had taken over his fathers Goldsmith company which dates back close to 1945 and has been a staple in the local custom jewellery scene since.  Looking to re-brand and renovate the interior and aesthetic of the business; he was looking to have some custom pieces designed that would incorporate both the romance and nostalgia of the craft, as well as its history.  We choose an elegant leg design paired with copper table tops which will age and patina over time allowing the desks to break-in and in time, add to the businesses unique story.

…You don’t already know

Dave from DTO Fab N Weld brought us over this steel-framed bench a few weeks ago.  It was love at first sight when first saw this and were excited to say the least for this collaboration.  After many hours of painstaking patchwork for each panel, it was ready to come together to make one giant multi-purpose storage unit.  Accommodating both visible, and hidden storage, this bench is built to last and has a simple, timeless design.  Raw materials do most of the talking for this piece and I think thats the most pleasing part.  Everyone that laid eyes on this piece before the customer came to pick it up(in a tiny hatchback) was drooling over it.  Its a good thing that we specialize in custom furniture because we’d be more than happy to remake or rework it for your space.
