Some customized furniture designs come from Gitane Workshop. The Denver-based studio offers the showcase of Coban Buffet, a functional and original looking cabinet. Here is the information we received from the designers: “An absolutely unique response to the dining room buffet casework type. This custom piece represents a combination of new construction with found materials. The casework portion consists of bent laminated corners, oak hardwood, sliding glass doors and custom fabricated metal drawer pulls. Traditional wood joinery, such as blind splines and doweled connections, are used in order to maintain the craftsman integrity of this piece. The base portion is constructed completely of materials found on a farm. Rusted plow heads are mounted to weathered heavy timber beams in a sculptural and highly contrasting response to the case above“. The dimensions of the piece are 34h x 74w x 20d. For further details and more unconventional customized furniture ideas, you can contact the studio.

This design may just usual but the eye catching words on it make it just wonderful. The designers, husband and wife design team of Wary Meyers, found this 1920s veneer dresser in Maine and, although they did not need it for their home, the piece of furniture had too many beautiful details and perfect proportions not to be bought. Having paid $10 for it, the team transformed the found object into an amazing typographic dresser. Both designers are fans of three dimensional letters, so the French Dresser became a combination of 3D lettering, vintage design and modern colours. The first impulse was to paint the letters on, but a second examination convinced the designers to use 3D lettering instead. Inspired by Lou Dorfsman’s CBS typographic wall, the dresser’s typographic facade makes use of French words describing the contents of each drawer. Labelling drawers with the content, it made it easy to keep it organized and the result adds character to the decorative exterior. Such an object can only bring admiration and respect.
