Cello Music Stand


























stained glass sculptures




My dad not only designs furniture.
He worked with a client who turned into a great friend
John Patsalides
John asked my dad to come up with ideas for sculptures to hold his panels
so these are some of the results.
John very sadly passed away last year.

This is work from an exhibition held in a former church / gallery
in hartlepool


These were glass panels glued together and held in frames.
My dad worked with Abi Abdulahawabi at ucl bartlett workshop
making many of these sculptures
This mad clock was made for the Gloucester  hotel in London


This one is 12 meters high and is made from two Lampposts joined together.
with clamps holding the glass fixed to the posts.



Multi purpose bedroom Storage/Cupboards


Here are cupboards my dad designed and made for a neighbour of ours.
They had trouble with moths and also wanted to store not just clothes,
so he came up with a neat idea of making sliding doors which also are
shallow storage cupboards for an ironing board and fold down drying racks.
The moths were dealt with by using cedar of lebanon as the wood inside the cupboard
the doors are made of american black walnut to match the floor

More plywood

 

                      Dad made these from birchply using its natural bend in held in hoops or slots.


Here's some work he made in the 80's



These stools\ tables are great . He made lots of them and we have some at home they have lasted well              and are older than me.

chairs made from cutting a bath in half

                                      He found this bath almost new on a skip in the road,
                                      cut it in half and made a frame in douglas fir wood.
                                      The bottom of the back leg is curved so you can rock away.
                                      It makes a great outdoor seat. Thats my sister on our roof.

Bench's

 Going through my dads portfolio I found he has made a great collection of benches. For memorials, reception areas and houses.









             This was made for a large reception area. Its about 5m long made of birchplywood.
                                                           you can sit either side
