Going through our sitemeter can sometimes throw up some interesting finds. Today, thanks to The Constant Gatherer I was thrilled to discover the amazing work of Thomas Wold.
Detail below, and more pics (by Markham Johnson) on Thomas Wold's Flickr page here:
This versatile artist and furniture maker has a special mix of whimsy, style and practical know-how that enables him to put things together in a rather spectacular way.
Case in point: this Fractured Fairytales cabinet, made from lots of (previously) unrelated vintage furniture.

The Variety Beam seat, made by Thomas for ReadyMade magazine (and explained in step-by-step detail on his blog), was inspired by laundromat seating. Imagine the mix of characters you might meet up with on those seats while waiting for the rinse cycle!
And demonstrating with elegance and poise that Thomas Wold doesn't only make furniture that's all about eclectic can-doism, here is his Cliff Diver Dresser .
