China buffet in Quilted Cherry and Birdseye Maple
Jul 16, 2011
The wonderful painting was used to determine size and proportion
This is a buffet designed for some art lovers that really didn’t want to move the incredible painting in the dining room, so I designed the cabinet elements around it. They truly loved the silky smooth Cherry and the carved transitions between doors and drawers. The unit measures 84″h x 121″w x 24″d

I think that maybe your clients should up-grade the artwork above your beautiful cabinet. The carved work is really excellent, and the design is well-balanced overall.
I totally agree with benchmarc - really lovely, Omar, and not overplayed at all. Well balanced and sensitive. Congratulations!
Omar, what did you have in mind when you were designing the carving?
I appreciate the comments guys! When first designing this project, of course many of my dimensions were based on the china and platters going in the units. That's when I realized that three separate pieces would be better than just one massive cabinet. The carving comes in play as a way to honor the beauty of the quilted cherry. I didn't want to take too much away from that wood and, at the same time, i wanted the piece to be a dramatic partner to all the other art pieces in the house.
