Just finished this hard to photograph hallway unit for a client. It's not often that a client gives you a fully open brief and this was one of those dreamy occasions where I could be creative with the design and integrate some sweeping curves. I wo
Some details for a new unit that I've just completed, any guesses what it is? Full post on it tomorrow
๐Ÿ”Š New Project ๐Ÿ”Š These hardwood Ash tower speakers are really something! When I set out on a speaker build I'm never quite sure how the dynamics of the design will impact the sound output and quality, and not every experiment is a success. These pup

๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ช ๐ŸŒณJust delivered this absolute beast of a table to its new home! This ones 2.2 metres long and another commission that wanted the tasty combo of Irish beech and oiled steel. Truely the last table you'll ever need to buy, probably your kids too!
A big ash piece I did for Barry (thats him buried under the unit in the last image) for his Killiney branch of Eleven Deli. He wanted storage for his breah and papers and as its the first thing customers see when they walk in the door, it had to be s
