The console was designed in accord with the brief given by William Hands for the Gordon Russell project. The concept of this project was to showcase English hardwoods without the use of any imported material. The console’s main feature is the three woven panel drawer fronts. The frames of the drawers are made from English cherry and display seven different English species in the weave: Beech, Sycamore, London Plane, Ash, Oak, Walnut and Chestnut. The Console itself is comprised of a mitred English oak carcass, with sycamore drawers and woven panel fronts. This is sat upon frame of English oak inspired by the branches of an Oak tree. The shelf below is for the storage of magazines or decorative items.
