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.
There is a flurry of activity happening at our upstate workshop this spring, and many new works will be debuting at the 23rd annual International Contemporary Furniture Fair. (ICFF, Javits Center, NYC: Sunday May 14-Tuesday May 17th)
Here is a sneak peek at one of our brand new works:
The bright No. 0050.4 Hammered Bronze and Roundback Dining Table/Console is the first ever to feature a light polished bronze leg with an undulating curve. The beautifully rich black walnut roundback is set on hand-hammered bronze legs. The deep color of the wood is offset by the luminous curved bronze base, capturing light and shadow effortlessly. Custom designed for a Central Park West apartment with a classic Upper East Side aesthetic, this dining table will be the centerpiece among a contrasting set of plush wing-back chairs after the ICFF is over.
In addition to No. 0050.4, our booth at the ICFF will feature the new (and never before seen) Moon Rise Low Table, related to the No. 0101 Sandblasted Doily Starfire Glass Side Table (above). We will also be bringing back old favorites from our New York City showroom and several pieces on loan from our Los Angeles Showroom at the Pacific Design Center, including No. 0028 Gnawed Beaver Branches Low Table as well as the No. 0176 Topographic Table.
Come see your favorites in person and prepare to be wowed by even more unexpected unveilings!
Variations within individual wood logs are such that different segments will show a wide range of personality. These three console tables, No. 0050.1, No. 0050.2, and No. 0050.3 each have their own distinctive flavor. The black walnut tops were crafted from squared off roundbacks and are in line with JOHNHOUSHMAND‘s philosophy of using the entire tree. A pair of perpendicular bronze patina legs were then attached to complete each piece.
These three consoles are being sent off to the Hyatt Regency Atlanta (covered previously on this blog) where they will be used in hallways and entryways. These consoles would translate perfectly to the home: in a foyer collecting car keys and mail, a unique sidebar set-up at a cocktail party, or showcasing family photos and keepsakes behind a couch.
Though no matter the use it is clear, repetition of this kind is far from boring. One just isn’t enough!
