Mid century Stereo Cabinet

Inspired by the clean lines of the Mid Century , we created this beautiful Rosewood Stereo Cabinet…

Simple in design but big on style , there is room for the all important vinyl collection and all the other media components that culiminate in a beautiful sound experience

Simple elegance

Sometimes, things dont have to be complicated …

A place for books

Being avid readers, we know all too well the problem of finding a suitable home for all the books we have collected over the years and do not want to part with.

It is a wonderful thing to pass them on to someone else to read #payitforward but there are numerous times and occasions when you do not want to part with them.

Art books for instance , often heavy and large are a must have for reference and to keep going back to time and again, coffee table books - for when the collection becomes too high to keep on the coffee table and of course well worn much loved fiction books that hold sentimental value.

Our client came to us with this conundrum , so many wonderful books but nowhere to store them and to reflect back on them when needed.

We designed this clean, streamlined bookcase to house such important items. Custom made to encapsulate the assorted heights and weights of different books.

Simple in design and colour so as to let the wonderful assorted colours of the books take precedence and be the show items as they rightly are…

Starting to come together

Ample space for lots of wonderful books

A beautiful complement to stunning art work

A room without books is like a body without soul.

Custom Making Hoop Pine Cabinets

The over riding advantage for custom making is that it solves problems and provides solutions.  Furniture is tailor made for each individual circumstance. As each family is different so are their furniture, storage  and lifestyle requirements, there are  no cookie cutter solutions.

Our current project provides ample storage, reducing clutter and is classically designed to enhance the existing decor.

We are in the final stages of completion of Hoop Pine Cabinets with an accompanying wine rack.

Once initial sketches are approved by the client tech drawings are made to ensure accuracy ,precision and a smooth production process.

After production, the polishing begins, once again our polishing is colour matched to existing client pieces to ensure a seamless transition into the home.

We also offer gloss, satin and various sheen  options to our clients so once again each piece is an individual and is specifically made to the clients wishes right down to the last detail.

White 2 Pack Entertainment Unit

With a myriad of consoles, discs, and other media components, this family room area was in dire need of streamlining.

Using 2 pack as the finish, the patchwork effect provides personality and quirkiness to an otherwise white bland wall.
