These
pieces owe their
inspiration
to
Mondrian
and
a
keen
desire to recycle 'waste' materials.
Made from offcuts of
Valchromat® left over from a kitchen table,
cupboards and a bed. A solid sheet was assembled and then the
opening cut for the mirror.
Valchromat® is often
described as 'good' or 'green' MDF. It is a wood fibre
board, coloured throughout using organic, vegetable dyes.
The wood is sourced from forest waste, residue from timber mills and
recycled pine. The manufacturing process
is very environmentally friendly and the production site (in Portugal)
has zero carbon emissions. It is also worth mentioning that it
carries UK and EU certification for nursery furniture |
The mirror came
first
but when we
were asked to make a toybox that would be eyecatching and appealing to
a small child, while not looking out of place in an evening living-room
setting, this seemed to fit the bill. The box has been fitted
with a
plethera of hardware, damping and safety devices to save little fingers
from serious damage.
