There was something, maybe not on that site, about the panels being
laminated, so I'm guessing he vacuum-formed them. I've never bent
wood, whether steamed or laminated, in more than one plane. I guess
there must have been a learning curve.

Yep, that would be fast. What would be your guess as to the longevity
and stability of a wide-ish panel of non-uniform thickness? I'm
guessing it's cracking and/or cupping down the road. Considering that
the guy is selling "bespoke" furniture and he's a hoity-toity
designer, he's probably getting six grand for that piece. I'd imagine
if the thing started prematurely aging his customer would be mighty
unhappy and would cause trouble. His choice of laminated construction
is the best option.

Chainsaw and 4.5" angle grinder, faster done than
described.

RDJ:

From the designer's web site:
http://www.ejbespokefurniture.co.uk/sideboard.php
"The once square frame work was hand shaped to follow each
laminated
panels form"
Another site with some better pictures.
http://www.contemporist.com/2011/03/22/the-volumptuous-sideboard-by-edward-johnson/
Odd, that - better pictures than on the designer's own site.
Weird.

The pictures worked better on the second site for me as
well.

And the exposed endgrain on the top front corners of the
frame pisses
me off. It wouldn't have sacrificed anything to have the
three frame
members meet and hide the endgrain, and considering how much
time went
into that piece (and how much it must have cost) it seems
like the
least that he could do.

If we're getting into theoretical druthers and bold daring,
it
would have been nice to see what the finished result would
be
if the piece wrapped the undulations around plane
transitions
into the end panels while doing away with acute angles and
straight lines in members dividing the drawers from the
organic
whole of the unit. Oh, and what's the rationale for those
sharp
corners in the end panels which are really underscored by
the
decision to use color contrast in the scheme? The first
thought
they evoke is puncturing, which may not be the best
complement
to bubbling motion which we just may take is the design
theme.


The invisible
back and bottoms wouldn't unanimously argue for the
mandatory
full treatment. Yet, if he would have worked the sinuous
theme artfully into the legs all the way down before they
capitulated to the rectilinear floor for stable contact,
that would have
signified a real stroke. End grain exposure also, as you
observed,
shorts sense.

What really makes me wonder is if he undertook modeling
efforts
to consider how the piece would have finished had it mounted
a convincing effort to fight the line everywhere with
curves. The work
required would have entailed a significant increase in
effort but the piece
is already "art", not inexpensive and, to my eye,
unconventional
without the acme of unconventionality being served. It's
very, very
fine: A work, undoubtedly. Sweeping greatness, however,
doesn't
much keep company with the "could have beens" that are
leftovers
from a long look here.

Regards,

Edward Hennessey

Did you see all the lumps on that??

Time to fire up the belt sander and smooth it out!

I have no idea how he made that. He "hand made" it with the "latest
material technology". What does that mean?

I assume it meant he hand assembled it after running various panels through
a cnc router. I can't see doing al of that with a hammer and chisel.

Also, you'd need a sign saying "Please do not put anything on top,
it'll slip and spill".

So much for form following function.

I was going to ask about your personal knowledge of
ammonia fuming to keep raveled to the thread but
think your expression of disdain for this project
mark you out as a responsible party.

But, speaking of "sliced volumptousness", a reference
grazed me the other day where fellows and femmes

Just one favor though, no pictures.

Hmmm...forgive me, LJ, if I have sinned. But I was told that
last-given site was a hotbed for the fans of Ayn Rand's
objectivism which you have positively mentioned. Yet, talking
politics often has the appeal of passing cyanide appetizers
at what might have otherwise been a charming social occasion.
where relationships missed establishment on more fond
or useful common interests like togas or wood.

But speaking of coprolites, here's fossil proof that
trash for one fish may be treasure for another:

Kind of reminds me of the RCA console stereo that I've been watching all
winter. It had been put out for trash pickup before the first snowfall,
got covered when the plow went through, and had been buried in
snowdrifts all winter. Maybe I should go pick it up, shellac it, and
sell it as "art".

Apologies to everybody for the disrupted line-wrap
of the posting above.

The machine has been having some difficulties.
Before it's appointment with the metal hospital, a
program has been installed which will hopefully effect some
reduction of the problem.

As some relevant reward for your kind forbearance, here
is a paraphrase which always offers a humorous
turn on reviews of many art objects.

Painting
Noun
The art of protecting wood from the weather and
exposing it to the critic.

Credit goes to Ambrose Bierce in his excellent
"Devil's Dictionary".

And, RDJ, my bones feel the asking price on that piece
will break six large by quite a bit.

Now don't you get any evil thoughts about where to stick
that vintage "Bubble-Up" decal at the high-flying Bordeaux
and brie exhibition opening....though if you want
an invite, I'll wangle you one.

But, Jumping Jehosaphat, I'd love to see any picture that
arises in consequence of your appearance.

There was something, maybe not on that site, about the
panels being
laminated, so I'm guessing he vacuum-formed them. I've
never bent
wood, whether steamed or laminated, in more than one plane.
I guess
there must have been a learning curve.

R:

I think its is doably "hand shaped" as I recall the article
quoting. Without skill and patience, it would take a
machine. My thought would be carving chisels and
sandpaper got a big workout along with guide profiles,
though the last could be avoided with craft since I
doubt there is any .000 mechanical exactitude in
the topology, nor need there be.

Once upon a time--but really--I had a chance to
buy a desk that looked like an elephant with a
rolltop or, better yet, an elephant and a roll top
combined. It was superb. It also was so overpowering
that you wouldn't see anything else in the rest of
the room when you entered...and if you did
have a later look arouind, it would have seemed
real odd if the decor wasn't the rest of the jungle.
Something similar might be a consideration with this
piece, although a spacious house that played
with furnished geometries....

Y'mean checking the uric acid resistance of the finish?
My hip would surely never make the distance if it's a very large
showing, as I'd likely be lifting a leg on the brie-eaters, too.

In that case, someone would be likely to hide away until closing time
and add his scat to their offerings, then stealthily disappear.
