Hand Sculpted "Dead Bench" Bench, Nicholas Hamilton Holmes

About the Item

Hand sculpted "Dead Bench" bench - Nicholas Hamilton Holmes Dimensions: 60” W x 18” D x 19”H Materials: Blackened ash, black leather upholstery Different sizes and finishes are available As commission for a private client, this bench was inspired by the Shoremans Bench with its long sweeping curves and turned legs. However this bench incorporates an upholstered top rather then the woven Danish cord. The core of this piece is it's solid wood frame joined with traditional joinery such as the sliding dovetail joint and pinned bridle joints. Nicholas Hamilton Holmesis a sculptor and furniture maker living and working in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. All work is produced in studio. The main themes of Holmes’ work are traditional methods, and contemporary style. The combination of time tested techniques like hand cut joinery or proportional design guarantee that all the work meets a standard of quality higher than most other producers. This studio prides itself on attention to detail, from the initial sketch to the finished piece--everything is artisan made and crafted. Sculpture has quickly become a focus of the studio, both in terms of art works, as well as furniture design. Bent, shaped and moulded wood make Holmes’ work both unique and valuable to collectors. Holmes believes in designing and building work that will last the test of time. The aesthetic that he applies references the foundation of the past, and pushes the contemporary vanguard of the future.
