Woodworkers: Sergej Kirilov and Marina Korotkaja
The one-of-a-kind finish on this African blackwood liquor cabinet was developed by Kirilov and Korotkaja using traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer. This finish was applied in 20 layers, each taking two to three days to cure, and then polished by rubbing the piece with bare hands and polishing compound. The liquid appearance is achieved by mixing tin powder into the lacquer coats. Due to the lengthy finishing technique, this piece took 400 hours to complete.
Materials: African blackwood, bird’s-eye maple, and stainless steel, 16-3/8W X 41L X 66H
