Furniture
Created as a part of a furniture design course, this credenza was made by modifying a previous design to have details of finer furniture, such as beveled corners, an inset floating back, and beautiful mid-century modern style legs. The dimensions were modified from the original design, by Emmanuel Gonzalez, to have a more appealing proportions, turning the white maple into a sleek shape that matches the walnut leg’s aesthetic. Finally, the bungee cord was threaded through the holes to create a fun, playful side to the piece. Wooden ends were hand-carved out of the walnut to detail the ends.
As discarded furniture lies forgotten in the corners of our lives, there exists a unique beauty waiting to be revived. Within worn-out cushions and faded fabrics lies an untapped potential, waiting for the touch of an artisan's hand to breathe new life into these forgotten pieces. Transforming discarded furniture into a reupholstered stool is a labor of love, and those who undertake this journey are bound by passion, creativity, and dedication.
