Not long after the introduction of our tattooed woods and acrylic we received our first custom commission. Now installed at the W Hotel -Sentosa Cove, Singapore is our table No. 0241.
The architects at Rockwell Group sent us their floral graphics, which we scaled up, tattooed and filled with a custom color. The decorative, laser cut legs compliment the organic floral curves of the tattoos.
Fire up your imagination and let’s create furniture that express your vision: fine lines or bold, filled or not, colored or natural, throw down your graphics and we’ll ink you up. How do you tattoo?
The JOHNHOUSHMAND family strives to innovate and create when bringing new concepts to the market. Sometimes our research brings us back to our own design archives for inspiration. Our Table No. 0098 began as a bronze cubed side table that had an intersecting slab of wood. It was such a hit that our clients began clamoring for these in different finishes and materials!
Always up for a challenge, the incredible cube has a new feature. In keeping with the clean, minimalist, relationship that occurs at the intersection of the glass and wood, the “slab” now has a hidden drawer. Push the front of the “slab” and silently out glides the drawer. Hidden treasures, hidden pleasures … what will you keep in your drawer?
In April we announced a new custom finish: Tattooed Acrylic and Wood. Now after months of experimentation and anticipation we are excited to present our first tattooed table: the No. 0238 acrylic side table with black legs and a cicada “graphic tattoo”.
We first unveiled this piece in May at our booth at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair(see below). With a treatment like this tattoo the possibilities really are endless! The fill color, width of line, graphic, and material are all up to the imagination. As you can see here, we decided to emblazon our very first tattooed product with one of John’s favorite creatures: the cicada. You may know this mysterious insect from the cicada song that can be heard in the summertime in heavily wooded areas. We’ve learned to embrace cicadas even though they can damage and cause scarring to tree branches. Just like a beauty mark, we see this natural marking as something to be proud of.
With open plan architecture gaining in popularity we decided to design something with it in mind. A console designed for open plan living – the No. 0087.9 Console Cabinet with ebonized and gray wash on Black Walnut microslab doors!
Functional, yet unobtrusive, this console’s cabinet doors open from both sides to allow easy access to things like dishware in a modern dining room setting. At only 32 inches high, this console is perfect for entertaining guests without obstructing view – especially in this spectacular Hamptons summer house. We’re thrilled that this console has added a special touch to such a beautiful space.
In July we introduced you to JOHNHOUSHMAND‘s first dresser, the No. 0237. But since one is the loneliest number we decided to create a beautiful companion piece, the No. 0237.1, a darkened Black Walnut dresser with six drawers and a light Black Walnut microslab.
We believe that balance is important in design as with anything. The fluid shape of the microslab brings a nice tenderness to the rigidity in the grid of drawers. Both polished and practical, No. 0237.1 will keep your clothes tidy and out of the way.
