The Magnus

   A little something out of the shop. It comes from a design that a friend found, apparently it had already been purchased and he wanted it. So a replication was in order.
 The frame is made of solid steel 3/4 inch (19mm) square rod. The top is butcher block oak that has been fumed and then finished with an antique recipe that I have been dying to try for years. It came out amazing! The middle shelf is zinc coated sheet metal that has been given a nice black patina. All of the metal is waxed to seal it from any corrosion and protect the steel for many years.
  There are more detailed pictures (click on to magnify) after the jump:

   It is the details that can bring a home together and keep you sane. In this case the phones and modem were sitting on the chair in the lower left corner of the picture and it drove me nuts! Now they all have a proper place. Features include a forged hanger for a purse and a lower shelf  that is great for loose mail and all those little things (but not too little) like sunglasses, car keys, a plant, a bottle of wine, firewood, car parts, Honey Badger repellent- or whatever else one needs as they head out the door!

A quick one today.

Welcome to FilliQvist

So, welcome! This being the first post I'll keep it brief as I am still figuring out this whole blog thing. After all you have to start somewhere and this is it: The Start!

     As of late I've been into designing/building furniture and interior design. It fell into my lap about a year ago and I decided to run with it. Attached to this first post is a few of my projects from this first year. Enjoy!!
