HOME ON THE FLOOR 
They say everything eventually comes back into style, so why not Art Nouveau? It seems like everything challenging to come our way in the last few months has been in the Stile Liberty (click on the previous postings to see what I mean). Anyway, you'll hear no objections from this quarter! What could be more satisfying than the whiplash curve that a century ago cracked through the stuffy excess of three hundred years of clutter in furniture design's attic.
So pour yourself a glass of absinthe, sit down in your favorite Van de Velde chair in the shadow of your best Beardsley print, and enjoy...

Believe it or not, not everything from CABINETURE comes out of
the custom services department. Although our custom work usually graces the 'On
The Studio Floor' pages, the work of our regular production crew is always
appreciated! The brilliant blue laminate is by Abet Laminati and will feature satin nickle handles and accents of stainless steel, anigre, and pale green laminated glass. |

Come on back, they'll be more next month, or sooner if the mood strikes me!
