Vintage Metro Subway Sign

By | unique antiques, vintage signs | No Comments

After watching the show 9 by Design, I felt inspired to make some sort of big city sign. I decided on this one which was inspired by a French subway sign. This piece is intended to be a console table top, but after I built it I realized that it could stand alone on a wall as a decoration. So I’ll be offering this (de)sign for sale. This top is quite heavy, maybe 30 lbs, so I’ll be making a thinner gauge version which will look identical, just weigh half as much. You could also tape pictures behind each letter to make an interesting gallery. The steel has a vintage patina, like a dark blue and gray, and the metal has a matte sealer on it. This will be priced at $350 approximately. I could do custom sizes too. Size is 36″ x 16″ and it is 1.5″ deep.

And here is the layout for another sign I’m working on based off of a vintage NYC subway sign. This will probably be 5′ wide and priced around $695. It’ll be all steel with rivets on the face, just like the Metro sign above.

NY Side Table & Coffee Table

By | cafe table, coffee table, end table, side table | No Comments

With New York being a big inspiration for my designs, I set off to build a tribute to the amazing place. My clients in New York usually have a few things in common: they want something unique that has an industrial feel, it needs to be functional yet beautiful, and space is always an issue.

I feel these pieces meet all of those needs. They were built as 2 separate tables that can function as side or accent tables, yet when put together, they work as a coffee table. The custom font that I created makes them blocky as possible which leaves lots of top surface area. And they have latching doors so you can use them for storage (about 3.5 cubic feet each). You can also face the letters forward, or upwards. After I built them, I realized how heavy they were (120lbs approx). So these could be used as safes if I installed an optional lock.

Dimensions: 20″ x 20″ x 20″
Weight: 120 lbs each
Price: $1,350 for both

Ellis Vintage Industrial TV Stand

By | media console | One Comment

Here is the TV Stand I recently finished. It has a Peruvian walnut top with a shellac finish. And it doesn’t have doors which gets the price down. This piece would cost $995 and is 4′ x 20″ x 32″ tall. It would also work great as a kitchen island.

Ellis Coffee Table

By | coffee table, media console | No Comments

This design is based on my media console, just in a coffee table size (40″ w x 20″ d x 18″ t). It would also make a cool tv stand. It has 6″ heavy duty casters, a rich dark vintage patina on the steel, and aged gray oak for a top. Weighs around 100 lbs, but rolls around easily with the casters. I’ll be making some different versions of this, like enclosing the bottom shelf, using mahogany, and making one 50″ wide. Priced at $895, this piece can also be customized to suit your needs.

The Manhattan Coffee Table

By | coffee table | No Comments

Here is a Manhattan coffee table, named after the bridge in NY. I wasn’t sure about the red color (which I modeled after the Golden Gate bridge) at first, but now that it’s finished, I love it! The hardwood top is aged white oak and has a waxed finish. It’s a simple design and has a familiar vintage look. Size is 40″ x 20″ x 19″ tall. Price is $795, or unpainted with a natural patina on the steel would be $695.

New Coffee Table Based on the Media Console

By | coffee table, furniture | One Comment

Working on a couple coffee tables based on my media console design. Hope to have one of them ready in about 10 days. Size is going to be 40″ x 20″ x 18.5″ tall. One will have the cabinet doors, and the other probably won’t. This would also work well as a low TV stand. They’ll have the same 6″ casters and will be uber heavy, about 125 lbs. Price will start around $795.

Now I just need to come up with a name for this design line! Here is a photoshop cut and paste of how it might look.

The Manhattan Table – New Collection

By | end table, furniture, side table | No Comments

The other day I was looking at New York bridges and felt inspired to create a new design. I call this new piece the Manhattan table, named after the Manhattan bridge. It uses angle iron in a unique way, which lends itself to a strong structural design, while using less material. And I love the combination of cross braces, rivets, and bolts. It measures 11″ x 12″ x 23.5″ tall, has a raw steel patina, and a mahogany top with a dark vintage stain. Stay tuned for a Manhattan coffee table! This vintage industrial design would price around $350.
