Inspired by my love and passion for Japanese architecture, design, tradition Japanese carpentry and the space in which it now rests.

A commission piece with a very open ended brief: A whiskey cabinet to fill out the asymmetrical alcove.

This gave me the full creative freedom to combine and incorporate design elements I love the most; a combination of modern Japanese minimalism and the lines found in historic Japanese architecture.

The black ash shelves are inspired by the curves found in Shinto Torii gates & for a modern twist and some contrast, they are supported by solid brass round bar turned down on the lathe.

Materials: Solid American Cherry & Ash with Brass accents

Finish: Natural Oil & Wax Finish, Pre-colour Intense Black, Black Oil & Wax Finish

Featuring: Split construction; the top section had to be seperate to allow access into the property, up the stairs into the dining room and then reassembled and fixed in place on site and reinforced with C-Channel bracing before being slid into the alcove. Hand shaped black Ash shelving. Custom made solid brass shelf supports. Custom built pull-out drinks compartment with book matched drawer bottoms. Adjustable shelving in the cabinet section.
