new techniques
I have always enjoyed experimentation and coming up with different ways of doing things. We are creating ways of reverse gilding and acid etching on glass. It is exciting to see how to take different designs in the mirror and how that will incorporate into a design for a entire new piece of furniture. Here is a multi-step process of acid etching and painting in reverse on a piece of mirror. I am in the process of designing a frame that will have these patterns on the mirror itself.
our newest piece
The Aaron cocktail table is made of solid zebra wood. The simple lines and graceful curves make this a stunning cocktail. I wanted to keep the color light enough to allow the natural detail in the wood to show up. It is regal and simplistic while strong at the same time.
mirrored furniture
14 Years ago, Gene and I were at the Paris Flea Market and came across the most wonderful piece of mirrored furniture. I decided then and there that we wanted to start making mirrored furniture. We developed our own process of making antiqued mirror. I can say that over the years the use of mirror in furniture has changed quite a bit.
