Duke Christie, Furniture & Art in Wood

Shell Forms

The hand carved shell forms are all made from the same wind felled ash tree. Sculpted in the green and then allowed to dry before being finished using different finishing techniques that create highly contrasting yet tactile pieces.

Curly

Hand carved open form in flamed elm, inspired by familiar shapes and forms seen along the Scottish coast with curly kelp, shell forms, rock pools and the waves to name just a few.

Speyside wall cabinet and table

The wall cabinet and companion table have been sculpted to appear as though each had been formed from a single block of wood, with smooth uninterrupted lines flowing throughout. The contrasting colours and textures of the oak owing to different finishing techniques, create tactile surfaces that invite touch and reflection.

Speyside wall cabinet door detail

The sculpted cabinet front represents the everchanging course of the River Spey meandering through the hills of Moray. The serpentine lines that flow down the front of the cabinet are undercut, creating a fascinating play of light, revealing itself in different aspects as one moves around the cabinet.

Coriolus

Sculptural wall panel inspired by the turkey tail bracket fungus. Carved with a chainsaw, the visible saw marks create a surprising amount of movement with everchanging display of light and shadow.
