Putting A Fingerprint On Custom Wood Furniture. A Sterling Silver One.

Bespoke (or custom) furniture craftsman Edward Johnson makes beautiful original pieces of modern furniture from wood, with a very unique signature. A designer and cabinetmaker, he combines contemporary knowledge of ergonomics and design with the traditional craft of woodworking. Dining room tables, chairs, sideboards, nesting tables, and jewelry boxes made with exotic wood like rippled Sycamore and Zebrano, embody both luxury and functionality.




His signature is a sterling silver hallmarked impression of his biometric fingerprint embedded into the pieces, an equally beautiful and personal touch.



His Easy Chair is one of my favorites, combining modern ergonomics and sensibilities with laminated beech wood and walnut:



His "Volumptuous" sideboard (yes, that is purposely misspelled) :

Every piece of his bespoke furniture is personally handmade at his workshop in Sussex. His attention to detail and refusal to compromise on quality is maintained from start to finish. He invites his clients to visit the workshop to discover the craftsmanship and expertise that Edward brings to his designs and pieces.

Spiritually & Physically Balanced Furniture. The New D/ZEN Collection By CTRLZAK.

Once again, the art and design studio CTRLZAK infuses Eastern philosphy into Western design like they previously did with their ceramiX project. Their latest coffee table and stool designs, the D/ZEN collection, consists of wooden blocks cut asymmetrically and balanced upon a symbolic silver cast twig leg. A reflective surface on the top or underside of the tables/stools is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.



The D/ZEN coffee table and stool by CTRLZAK was inspired by the spiritual and physical balance of Buddhist Zen practices. Archetypal forms that sustain objects and people, imperfect forms in perfect balance. The stick is man’s little touch, which supports nature but reminds us that everything is temporary.








CTRLZAK will present the new D\ZEN project in the upcoming Milan Design Week, the 12th to the 17th of April, 2011.

Don't forget to check out their wonderful CeramiX project, too.

Desks So Beautiful, They'll Turn Anyone Into A Workaholic.

The Tresserra Collection is a line of hand-crafted fine furnishings with showrooms in Barcelona and Paris, and includes everything from light fixtures to coffee tables. But what I really want to share with you are the desks, which are some of the most beautifully appointed hand crafted pieces in the world. Made with woods such as Sycamore, Maple, Cedar and Walnut, they have gun metal or silver-plated fittings, hardware and details, Italian leather and glass accents.

The craftsmanship is impeccable and the designs are simultaneously classic and modern. In a word, they are breathtaking. See for yourself.
