'Vase of flowers' 3 door sideboard design;

This is a new 3 or 4 door sideboard, inspired by an early Omega Workshops design by Vanessa c.1917, to produce a stunning new piece of artistic furniture. The sideboard can be made as a 3 door version, shown above, or a wider 4 door version, as shown below. Whilst very practical & offering plenty of storage, is essentially a large canvas for the hand painted designs. The sideboard can have smooth or tongue & groove side panels, but these could be smooth if preferred. The worktop is shown as a painted top, which could be painted in any of the colours of the main design, as examples below. The top could also be stone, Corian, glass, wood, etc.. It is fitted with internal shelves, but the fit-out can be as you prefer. It could also have a front frame (for a more traditional look) and/or top drawers, but these might detract a bit from the design a bit due to more lines. It is made to order, so you can change the sizes / proportions to suit, within reason due to the front design. It is shown with legs, which gives a clean modern look, but this could be a plinth instead, as shown below, a typical feature of Bloomsbury furniture.

Rather than follow the example of the original artists, in Omega & Bloomsbury, and decorate secondhand pieces of found furniture, we design & produce pieces from new with the designs planned from the start to create unified new pieces. As you can imagine if you were to commission a new sideboard and a large painting like this seperately they would not come cheap, we've just combined the 2. We can and have put this sideboard design to other new uses, such as bookcases/display units, media centres and vanity units. We don't discuss sizes or pricing until we've agreed the finished design details with a client.

Wider 4 door version;

The front of the sideboard can be made in 2 ways. The designs above all show doors which are the full height of the carcase. This makes for a very clean front best suited to decorative painting. However, some clients might prefer a framed front or some drawers. As well as being more expensive to make, some clients prefer the more traditional look with a framed front. However, it does mean there are more lines visible from the front, and the middle panel is visible (required to hinge the middle doors off); this is not as clean a fascia for painting as the full height doors.
