Neapolitan Sideboard

Disciplines Interiors, Products, Sculpture

Released 2009

The main carcass and legs of the sideboard are crafted using American black walnut whilst the doors are formed using a mixture of walnut, oak, ash, poplar and sapele solid wood lamination's . I was inspired to use a variety of solid wood lamination's from my childhood memory of eating my way through bowls of Neapolitan ice cream! I merged this past image with my love of Bridget Riley painting's to create a visual landscape that I hope is inviting to the eye. Encourages you to follow the meandering lines of the wood and pause for a moment on the smooth sculpted ovals. My furniture has a function to play, a practical purpose to fulfill but I want my pieces to be more than just that. My aim is to encompass contemporary bespoke design with quality craftsmanship to give my clients a piece of functional art.
