Narrowing Down an Aesthetic for Armstead

These are all designs I really like.


Love the nail here.


Absolutely stunning work.


Very close to what I was possibly thinking of for the bench.

Possibly cross the above design with a bit more modern inspiration, as evidenced by this bamboo bench? I would rather just have straight legs though, without the curved single leg as shown here.


A cross between Japanese and Danish Modern?


A little too rugged, plus I'm not a fan of such pale wood.


Dig the alder twig benches. I really like Brent Comber's work.




This is what I was talking about last night with the solid wood stool/bedside table thing. This one's by David Brunicardi, whose work I also love. I'd love something like this, but in a more honey-rich, reddish-toned finish/varnish. Like a Russian Red Ale!
