What Am I Looking At Today: A Wine Fridge in the Living Room


Greetings All,

So I have been working on a house in Colorado, and it's pretty modern with a big nod to comfort and one of the creature comforts insisted upon is a fridge in the living room. Now that could be a problem, but luckily, I have a really great cabinetmaker named Nils Caspargus who we enlisted to make a bar with the fridge below. We decided to make it from natural mica and lightly cerused oak, my client and I have a running joke that it's the flavor of the month, cerused oak. Every showroom in Manhattan is littered with the stuff...but this is a really pretty cabinet and the silver mica shimmers.



I had the mica made to resemble paneling, so there's a subtle frame.


Lucite and silvered pulls keep it simple.


I love working on custom pieces, always fun and  great to have a client that lets you make odd, now little used materials, like mica into beautiful furniture.
