raw steel & english walnut console

We designed this one-off console based on a beautiful piece of English walnut that we had sourced years ago and had been saving for the right project.

We kept as much of the natural shape of the walnut board as possible and balanced this with the solid straight edged raw steel base.  The off-set steel fronted drawer is solid walnut inside.

our new studio opening this weekend

we've had a busy start to the year and lots of changes over the last few months too.  
we moved to Cornwall and found a new place for our workshop / studio space, so it feels like a completely fresh start for us which is great.

the studio space we found needed lots of work and we've spent the last few months converting it - we've built a completely new floor, some interior walls, a new ceiling, painted the inside and outside of the building and planned the space so that we can use it as not only a workshop but as a more permanent studio space to show our work.

it's very much going to be a multi-functional space - we have lots of ideas for the space to evolve and so it's a work in progress for us.  

we'd love you to come & visit us at our new studio space this Easter for our very first opening {details below}. our new space is still in Welcombe - follow signs to Koa Tree Camp just as you turn off the A39.

see you soon

our materials: reclaimed cornish slate

like all of our materials, we spend a lot of time sourcing & choosing the right pieces.
our slate comes from old buildings and are sometimes so dirty that it is impossible to see the colours and markings underneath.
it's a lot of work cleaning them up, chipping away just to get to the slate.
once we have cleaned them up we can see the beautiful colours and markings in each piece - a mixture of deep & light blues, little patches of rusty orange, greys, browns & blacks, and sometimes a real defined contrast of lights & darks.
every single piece of slate is different which makes each item that we make unique.

Glenn hand cuts each piece and then polishes the slate to reveal more of the colours that have occured due to the slate being weathered for years and years and years.
we use reclaimed cornish slate in our accessories collection for our mirrors, ranging from small portrait ones to large sculptural panoramic ones.
we also make a range of clocks from this beautiful slate, polishing a circle for the face so it's smooth and leaving the rest slightly textured.
