Jigsaw bench

The Jigsaw Bench a simple, clean and solid little hallway friend made to be used and abused by family and guests. The staggered, chamfered legs and offset top makes it interesting whether by itself or with other Jigsaws. It sports visible joinery so that woodworking nerds and furniture aficionados know what’s going on.

This commission resulted in one bench with yellow and off-white tan(ish) accents for a bedroom and a pair of blackened ones for a hallway.

This version is made from oiled ash but it could equally well be made from other hardwoods and with other finishes. If you like this piece and would like something similar give us a shout and we’ll talk about it.

Nook

Two private work spaces. One for bills, phone calls and late night emails from the boss. And one for crayons, jigsaw puzzles and lego building. Nook is made from maple plywood and the larger one has basic storage for two laptops and bits of paper, bills, notepads and whatnot.

Zigzag

Based on a repeated triangular frame this bench winds its way down a long hallway. Every section can take one storage unit and one bench top. But both are optional and depending on placement makes for different styles and uses.

The bench is the first piece in a series of furniture based on the same triagonal shape.

Ledge / Shelf

Designed for a narrow hallway leading to the kitchen and sitting room area this shelf folds up and rests on a pair of stakes. When folded down it becomes a narrow ledge that can be used to lean an elbow on to look casual at a dinner party. It also holds a 15” Macbook Pro.

Folded up at a convenient bar stool height it’s a small work table or a DJ-station for your Spotify playlist during busy evenings in the kitchen.

Paper bed

A commissioned queen size bed frame with an almost ludicrous amount of storage. Effectively, the whole frame is made up from drawers of various sizes able to swallow an entire household’s worth of bed linen as well as clothes and whatever else that needs to be conveniently stashed away out of sight. The drawer at the head end of the bed also doubles as a pull out night stand.

As a side note – The bed is named so because the massive storage drawers that make up its frame are sized after the beautifully proportioned international paper size standard, ISO 216 – A-series.
