Chevron Console at the "My Grain" Exhibition

Many apartments and condominiums are notorious for having narrow entry areas at the front door. To address the design challenges of these spaces Kevin has created a narrow wall hung console called the Chevron Console that is only 6" deep.

Earlier this year Kevin had the privilege of displaying an example of this design at the Architectural Digest Home Design Show in New York.

This piece ended up being part of a group exhibit at The Furniture Society's display, where it was featured alongside the works of distinguished furniture makers such as Garry Knox Bennett, Wendell Castle , Michael Fortune , Vladimir Kagan , Silas Kopf, John Makepeace, Judy McKie, Po Shun Leong and others.

Kevin's Chevron Console was subsequently sold to a private collector.




For the upcoming "My Grain" exhibition at The Guild Shop in Toronto Kevin will be displaying another version of the Chevron Console . This piece measures 30" long by 6" deep by 6" high. It has been crafted from quarter cut Wenge panels that have been compound mitred to create a seamless monolithic structure. It is wall hung by means of a French cleat that is recessed into the back face. It is also signed and numbered on the back face: 2010-#022.




The "My Grain" exhibition opens at The Guild Shop in Toronto on Saturday July 16th.

Next week the "My Grain" exhibition opens at The Guild Shop in Toronto.

Today Kevin and I delivered some pieces that will be displayed at this show.

The main piece that I'll be showing is a Kidney Shaped Desk crafted out of FSC certified ebony.

Some upcoming blog posts will detail each of these pieces in greater detail.

Kevin has just received word that his Chevron Console has been accepted into this year's Architectural Digest Home Design Show.

It is a great honour for Kevin to be participating in this event, because his piece will be displayed alongside the works of distinguished furniture makers such as Garry Knox Bennett, Wendell Castle , Michael Fortune , Vladimir Kagan , Silas Kopf, John Makepeace, Judy McKie, Po Shun Leong and others.

The Chevron Console

Condominiums in Toronto and apartments in New York City are notorious for having limited amounts of space - especially near the entry.

To address this situation Kevin has designed a simple wall hung console that is both functional and easy to install.

The Chevron Console shown here measures 30" long x 6" deep x 6" high. It has been crafted from quarter cut Wenge panels that have been compound mitred to create a seamless monolithic structure.

A hidden recess at the back holds an aluminum French cleat to allow for secure mounting to a wall.

This console is numbered 2010-#021 and is signed (on the back) by Kevin.

An example of this wall hung console is currently on display at Industrial Storm in Toronto.
