What a fantastic piece, thanks for posting.

Living in a city where all the architecture of late seems to be lending to the same arched appearance as the top of this uniquely fantastic entertainment center, I must say that your work here breaks away from the “oh,look, it’s another arched…”—- perhaps giving me another chance to enjoy the wonders of arches.
We have a river running through the middle of town that does have some fairly scenic falls right in the downtown area… but, building architecture just does not do the “falls” any justice with glue-lam, architectural steel arch beams, nor bricked over precast concrete archways; that aspect of (wood) working is a hard one to make asthetically pleasing, it takes a really talented craftsman to bring out the “energy” of the arch without overwhelming nor detracting. This, to me, is a very refreshing piece of eye candy; bold in its design and appearance… my first thought when I gazed upon it: “WOW, check this out! That is awesome!”... Simple, yet complex. Plain, yet strangely scintillating to the eye; almost difficult to look at as a whole, since the varying aspects draw the eyes back and forth in a desperate attempt to pull it all together as a patterned unit as one is so often used to looking at just from the unspoken of conditioning that “this is how this should look, but doesn’t.
The escapement from the normal appearance of an entertainment center has been accomplished here with a grandious design of simplicity.

Very impressive project! You are right, it’s a very special client that let’s you be that creative.

Alan,

This is a beautiful project. It certainly has an original design and is quite unique. It would take a special home and decor for this piece to be fully appreciated for both its style and art.

Thanks for the post.

Very nice artistic piece. I am very much a traditionalist but this piece I really like and made me stop and not only admire it but also embrace the design. I think that this is one of those “Out of the Box” ideas that may inspire a new phase for me. Thanks for sharing.

VERY COOL… probably the nicest entertainment centers I have seen… massive too… makes the TV almost look small… great job on this build…

I love this piece!!!!

Thanks to all, even if I’m a little (little?) late responding. I appreciate to kind words.

Wow, that is an amazing peice of furniture. The curves, contrast, and non-standard shapes make this visually stimulating. In my opinion, much better to watch then the telivision! I’m currently designing an entertainment center, thought I had it pretty well designed, but after seeing this I may borrow some concepts.

Really great!
