Walnut Console

A mid-century modern style two door console cabinet of walnut. Doors feature small strips of wood to hide electronics but let sound pass through. Box joint construction of the case.

Walnut Console with Slat Doors

This commissioned piece draws on similar design elements used in the Low Console with Screen project; similar doors were constructed featuring thing wood slats. These doors hid the client’s audio equipment while at the same time allowing for sound and remote signals to pass through. Walnut is used throughout, with the exception of the carved wenge door handles. Finish is natural tung oil and wax.
