Handcrafted Sycamore and Walnut Tables Shaped Like Nautilus Shells by Marc Fish.






UK Furniture craftsman Marc Fish has created two table designs inspired by the Nautilus Shell. His first, Nautilus I, was designed and crafted in 2010-2011 and awarded Guild Mark no. 435 by the Worshipful Company of Furniture Makers. The Nautilus I has aluminium legs (photos are shown later in this post) while in Nautilus II, the base is formed of wood.




In Marc's own words he describes the brief as one calling for "a large statement piece, with maybe a hint of the sea - its location being a large loft style apartment overlooking the English Channel. An open brief from the client is every makers dream- room to explore, experiment and innovate. A new technique was developed to turn 4000 pieces of veneer strips into a 10 mm thick logarithmic spiral."

Materials used for the Nautilus I are Sycamore, Walnut, Japanese paper, glass and aluminum; for Nautilus II, Sycamore, Walnut and Glass.

Each was produced in an edition of 5, each unique in colour and style.

Modern Matchbox Coffee Table By Schulte Design Conceals Ethanol Fireplace.





Franz J. Schulte of Germany-based Schulte Design has designed a space saving and smart-looking coffee table available with or without a built-in ethanol fire burning kit.

The Matchbox coffee table makes great use of space with a sliding top cover that opens to reveal a storage space that as an option, can be fitted with their stainless steel ethanol burning fire kit, complete with slide-in glass for additional safety.



If you choose to forego the firekit, the table can come with an insert allowing for more tabletop room or storage space.



The streamlined modern design comes in eight types of wood veneers or a white painted version. The chunky legs are aluminum.








Size: 90 x 60 cm, 100 x 60 open 110 x 70 cm, Height: 30 cm

Reclaimed Wood Mixtape Coffee Table by Jeff Skierka Goes Into Production.




This unique handmade coffee table has been getting so much buzz that Seattle-based designer/craftsman Jeff Skierka and his partner, graphic designer Roslyn Hyde are working as fast as they can to get it into production.



The Mixtape Table is a 12:1 scaled replica of a cassette tape turned into a functional coffee table. Made of reclaimed maple, walnut and lucite, the 47.25" x 30" x 5" handcrafted piece has a protective 3/8" plexiglass top. The table is completely reversible to feature sides A and B.



The first prototype and one of a kind table has been quickly gathering attention across the internet, with many fans requesting its production.




Jeff and Roslyn are responding to the demand with future versions which will be CNC machined out of high grade plywood (with a variety of ply combinations) and a glass top. Both plywood and handmade hardwood versions will be soon available.


above: Jeff and partner Roslyn in their Seattle workshop

According to Roslyn, Jeff is speaking with manufacturers with CNC capabilities, water jet cutters for the glass top, visiting local plywood and hardwood suppliers, among a list of other things over the next couple of weeks. He is planning on having a rough estimate for the plywood Mixtape Table by the end of the week. Jeff will also be creating 1 or 2 more prototypes as well. If you are interested in a hardwood handmade table, those will also be available to order soon.

Modern Custom Handcrafted Wood Dog Feeders and Food Storage By Eastvold.




Eastvold Furniture is a small company based in Minnesota that uses ethically harvested lumber in the construction of their furniture. In addition to their beautifully designed and constructed credenzas, tables, coffee tables, dressers, end tables, consoles and beds, they have three modern dog feeders that incorporate storage for the food.

The Buster Pet Feeder:


Named after designer Matt Eastvold's first Yellow Lab, who was a tough but gentle farm dog, the Buster pet feeder stores the food in the center column so it is right where you need it for your dog's mealtime. Two stainless steel bowls are great for water and food. The tops of the bowl holders are gray laminate for extra durability and sloppiness.



dimensions: 18.0 H x 10.0 W x 10.0 D. Side bowl holders 10"x10" 2 qt. bowls. Bowl height 8 1/2" from floor
woods available: maple, walnut or white oak
price: $260

The Jesse Pet Feeder:


Named after Ben's Border Collie, a warm-hearted old dog, the Jesse pet feeder stores the food in the center column, so it is right where you need it for your dog or cat's mealtime. Two stainless steel bowls are great for water and food. The top of the bowl holder is gray laminate for extra durability and sloppiness. The Jesse is excellent for small dogs or cats.


dimensions: 18.0 H x 10.0 W x 10.0 D. Side bowl holders 10"x13", 1 qt. bowls.
woods available: maple, walnut or white oak
price: $260

The Willie Pet Feeder:



Named after Ben's younger, very energetic Boarder Collie, the sleek and modern Willie dog station has a built in storage drawer for food. There are 2 quart stainless bowls with ring seals so water doesn't get into the food drawer.




dimensions: 11.5 H x 24.5 W x 12.0 D
woods available: maple, walnut or white oak
price: $340.

You won't find these beautifully made wood dog feeders on their site because they are designed exclusively for Design Public.
