Furniture Design
What you are seeing here are Ash chair leg mortices with curved lead in that allows for the internal radius between and shoulder plus chair rails in blanks.
This was a commission to design a four-poster bed by Rosemary Jones of Rosemary Jones Design Cork, who we've had a long-standing relationship with.
The brief was for a bed that was visually light and delicate but could take a super king mattress. The bed was to be made in oak with a lime washed finish and should include some brass detailing.
Hard Wood Cleaning Tips
To keep the hard wood furniture in your home looking beautiful for years to come, follow our care tips.
Sticky Stuff (the kind generally produced by the little ones)
Get a microfibre cloth, dampen it with a little water and use it to remove the sticky grime.
Once that's done, use a different completely dry microfibre cloth to gently wipe down the furniture. Be extra careful here, making sure to remove any remnants of water as any left behind will damage the wood.
👉19th Century
Desks of any sort were uncommon before public education created greater literacy at the start of the 19th century. Plus, the Industrial Revolution created a new work environment, one filled with people working at desks.
👉Early 20th Century
The typewriter had arrived (remember those?) and with the added weight of paper and machine, desks needed to be stronger which saw a big uptake of steel desks in offices.
👉Present Day
Standing desks have become popular for a variety of reasons. The obvious one is the health benefits. A standing desk allows the user to stretch the body out, increase blood flow, engage the core, glutes and leg muscles which relieves the pain associated with sitting all day.
The other benefits associated with standing desks are employees feeling more energised, leading to improved productivity and overall better cognitive performance.
