This sideboard design was inspired by a Duncan design for a rug, for the Omega c. 1916. A rug design adapts easily to a flat surface, so we adapted the design for matching sideboards, a mirror & vanity units as well, see bathroom & mirror sections. Duncan was quite aware of new art being produced in Europe at the time, this design shows some influence from some of those artists. it would be a fairly typical Abstract painting but for the hatch lines around the edges, which give it a visual energy. And he was not seeking perfection in his lines, as say Mondrian was, which also adds to the vitality of the design, plus it has good colours. We used the border of his design which lent itself well to a mirror frame, especilly when paired with the matching sideboard. The mirror can be hung landscape or portrait as preferred, and would also look good with a beveled edge.

The Abstract design adapted really well to a stunning new piece of artistic furniture. Whilst very practical & offering plenty of storage, it is essentially a large canvas for the hand painted designs. The worktop could be marble, granite, quartz, limestone, Corian, glass, wood, painted, etc.. It is fitted with internal shelves, but the fit-out can be as you prefer. We've shown most examples with a fitted plinth, typical of Omega/Bloomsbury furniture, but we could also put it on legs, for a more modern look. It is made to order, so you can change the sizes / proportions to suit, within reason due to the front design.

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, tables and vanity units. We don't discuss sizes or pricing until we've agreed the finished design details with a client.
