George

Inspired by a traditional 1780s George III commode, Gareth has reinterpreted the design for a contemporary audience. His latest edition of the George chest in ash is produced with a series of rectilinear cuts. The design has a rugged sophistication and the commode seems to emerge from a carved, fragmented block of wood. The design was achieved through the combination of a computer-controlled routing machine and hand-carving techniques, merging notions of history, traditional craft and contemporary design.
