A mix of reused wood

John Galvin has designed a sideborad using American black walnut along with a mixture of walnut, oak, ash and poplar for the doors of the sideboard. The designer explains his work:

- In today's throwaway society it has never been more important to reuse and recycle materials.  This is exactly what my "Neapolitan" range of furniture does. By utilising what most furniture manufacturers would consider of no use, I have managed to create a variety of products that reuse off cuts and produce long lasting pieces of function art.  
I was inspired to use a variety of solid wood lamination's from my childhood memory of eating my way through bowls  of Neapolitan ice cream. I merged this past image with my love of Bridget Riley painting's to create a visual landscape that I hope is inviting to the eye. It should encourage you to follow the meandering lines of the wood and pause for a moment on the smooth sculpted ovals. 

He continues:

- My furniture has a function to play, a practical purpose to fulfill  but I want my pieces to be more than just that. My aim is to encompass contemporary bespoke design with quality craftsmanship to give my clients a piece of functional art.
