The Preston
- Description
- A long oak console (over 2m!) with bespoke curved legs finished in a stain that highlights the natural grain of the solid wood.
Preston was originally a village in its own right, it was eventually absorbed into Brighton with the development of the farmland owned by the local Stanford family, officially becoming a parish of the town in 1928. Stanford-owned land to the south of Preston Manor was given to the town and now makes up Preston Park, one of the largest parks in the now conjoined city of Brighton and Hove.
- Materials used
- Solid oak legs and rails with a radius applied to the front and angled back to give the illusion of a delicate leg.
The top and shelves are in a rift oak veneer.
Finished in a polyurethane lacquer.
- Craft notes
- It took several iterations of a leg prototype to ensure that the proportions and integration with the rest of the piece was correct. This process is crucial to development and making a piece perfect!
This design can be value engineered to suit your preferred style, dimensions and budget.
