Interiors 2008 RDS, Dublin 16th to 18th of May

Here is a sneak preview of one of the pieces I'll be showing at the upcoming Interiors 2008 show in the Royal Dublin Society next weekend. I'm calling it a clinker chair; well because it's made like a clinker planked boat and is a chair. Perhaps Venetian Whorl might be a little more imaginative. Anyway it is made from approximately a hundred pieces of quarter sawn ash and oak which were then steam bent into shape. Needless to say this was a lot of work and the chair took the best part of a month just to fabricate the outer shell. The finish is hand rubbed oil and bees wax.

Dresser finishes Kitchen

This Dresser style unit matches the other cabinets in this kitchen. It provides extra counter space for baking etc.; but at the same time doesn't make the kitchen seem cramped. The drawers below house things like table linen, food processor and bulky items like lunch boxes etc. The long doors on each side are pull out larder units. The client was very happy with the dresser remarking that it was exactly what she had wanted. Since this photo was taken I've added a plate rail at the back of the counter to display the clients collection of large decorative plates.
