Natural Birch

You know you might be a bit of a wood-nerd when you begin buying wood not because you need it, but because it’s beautiful and you /have/ to have it. This was the case with the natural-birch panel I used to make this spec LP-1 album storage unit.

You typically wouldn’t think that birch and maple would go well together — like whipped cream on vanilla ice cream… too much “light” — but with the red interior color and black backing, this unit really pops. Of course, the gorgeous variegation of the birch helps a lot.

It was made as a spec piece and will be at Bay Home in a few days. If you’d like to check it out there in person, per them a visit. However, if you’d like to get the jump on it (and perhaps get a better price), hit me up before Friday afternoon (tomorrow — 4/3).

I have a bit of the birch paneling left, too, so if you have a design in mind, let me know…

Spec Work

Sometimes after a few orders, I have some spare parts and pieces left over. With them, I've started making a few spec pieces that will be selling at Bay Home.

The founder of Bay Home has a long history in the MCM furniture business. In fact, we first met him over 10 years ago when we looked at a Roger Lee house in Kensington that he had staged.

This piece is 32 (w) X 32 (h) X 16 (d) and is backed with a matte black panel from our "neutral" line. The sides are walnut/walnut. I also tried a new technique of having panels in adjoining bays on the inside (as opposed to outside mounting). It works pretty well, but — because of the super-tight tolerances — it is only for shop-assembled furniture rather than anything that will be disassembled and shipped.

Tom’s Closet Helper

Tom and his family live in an Edwardian flat in San Francisco. As older homes go, closet space is at a premium. Tom wanted something that would help in that regard.

We designed a custom 2X2 with an extra shelf. Also, because of the high baseboards and other concerns, we made the legs a good bit taller than usual (6in). This might also serve later as a handy place to stash shoes…

The CSSU-LP1 + LP2 vinyl storage bench and tower (+ pricing)

In addition to the Integrated CSSU (with built-in speakers), we're seeing a lot of possibilities in the realm of AV and media storage solutions — the latest is the CSSU-LP series — the LP1 and LP2… a shelving unit system designed specifically around the storage of 12in vinyl records.
