BOOKCASE STYLES IN PROGRESS 2

   46

The bookcase above was designed for an “Arts and Crafts” style of house built at the turn of the last century where I matched the door panels on the bookcase with those of the entrance to the room and the radiator grills were made with a Rennie Machintosh flavour to my design. The cornice was low and overhung the bookcase with plain pilasters having head and base mouldings to blend with the existing fireplaces in the rest of the house (as shown in the illustration beside the bookcase).

The illustrated fireplace above and entrance door below, were existing and which I used to influence my design of the bookcase with the radiator cases on each end and central cupboards as shown to the left.

In the workshop this bookcase and vanity unit it looks both unusual and  without reason!

I designed this unique vanity unit again with the guidance of our client and here it can be seen where it is sympathetic to their room.

Open the doors and there are mirrors within.

Here the reason is more apparent!
