Bespoke media unit, Dulwich
We were commissioned to design and build this bespoke media unit to incorporate cupboards, shelving, space for a TV, a vinyl collection and record player. The clients had a clear idea of an aesthetic to tie in with their colourful mid-century home.
We were able to combine multiple materials to bring the design together a as coherent piece. We designed the supporting frames and used a blackened steel finishing technique to add a lovely patina to the metal. We were able to incorporate English chestnut harvested from the client’s friend’s woodland in Kent, adding a personal story to the furniture.
“We are delighted with the pieces Tom made for us and we have another project in production. He has a really collaborative approach. The final results are beautiful, well made furniture that we are enjoying having in our home.”
