Design Milk had a post on San Luis Obispo, CA woodworking/home design duo Craft SLO who puts out some interesting pieces. There is a consistent mix of materials, natural wood, and paint through all of their work, and their choice in species is pretty bold. Plus they have a Maloof quote on their front page. Good job, dudes!

Torino Credenza

This guy has a laminated top made out of plywood scraps, and Ipe on those curved drawer fronts, though there is no word on the cupped section. I was pumped for this because I am interested in finding a way to use corrugated roofing material in a few projects, though attaching it to doors/carcasses seems problematic.

The guys at Craft SLO also came up with this awesome reception desk for Rosemont Media:

They made that hardwood wrap the cast concrete pretty effortlessly, and the proportions of the wood thickness really assist that. I like to think that those are nice, solid chunks of wood, though that would be insane.

Good incorporation here of necessary lobby items here: what appears to be a built-in vase and a set of company logo pin letters.

Just a little FYI here, it’s snowing something fierce outside, so sorry if this is a little long winded and self indulgent.

Cheers,
Shaun
