Marshlands Drinks Cabinet
Name of Designer:
Elliott Butterwick
A development of the Flooded Fens Console Table, the Marshlands Drinks Cabinet explores the relationship between North Norfolk’s tidal swell and its salt marshes. The curved, wave-like doors incorporate a similar marshland grass texture, in stark contrast to the luxurious sycamore interior and polished bespoke brass handles. The doors of the Marshlands Drinks Cabinet were made prior to the carcass, to account for any spring back or twisting from the curved form lamination. The rest of the cabinet could then be made, working backwards from the inner dimensions.
Elliott uses both traditional and modern craftsmanship to push boundaries with challenging form and texture. Never losing focus of the narrative of each piece, he achieves excellence in artistry and storytelling.
