Three years ago I was loking for another project to start, but wanted to stretch things a bit design wise. Looking at MacIntosh and Limbert furniture I was taken by their use of negative space – how by leaving something out they had enhanced what was there. How the negative space was the first thing you noticed, and how it actually defined what the structure was. In most Stickley designs, you have this formidable Thing that defines itself by its mass and substance and joinery. It is There – and I love Stickley furniture. Anyway, this is what I came up with trying to combine subtle curves (the legs are mirrored and flipped top to bottom) and negative spaces. My grandson thought the side rails looked like antlers, so there ya go. Thanks for looking.
