Coffee Table in Artisan Metallic Alchemy
A complete revival and transformation of a coffee table for a good client of ours. A sentimental piece with clean lines, well built and our client was after a special Artisan finish to honour the memories of this piece and what this piece represented. A story we connected to; and agreed to undertake the work. After discussions with our client we understood her style, completed a video call of the room it was going into, and a loose brief of a Metallic finish was discussed. Once we had the piece in our hands, we came up with and finalised a concept that worked in with the existing piece with the aim to completely transform and elevate the piece utilising our Metallic Alchemy Range. With Metallics working best on curves and details we added detailing to the tray of the coffee table in order to maximise and allow the artisan metallic paint finish to fully shine, we chose a design that worked best with our clients style and were given the creative freedom to create. Now a beautiful bespoke coffee table with a brushed metallic paint finish that reacts and adjusts to light and shadow. It's a one off piece, hand painted, and detailed to fit in with our clients style and interiors. A special piece to honour the beautiful memories and connection that our client has with this piece.
What we did:
The Tray stencilled in Artisan Stone Effect (due for release this spring)
Painted in Artisan Tahr Premium Chalk Paint using a Staalmeester 1 inch flat brush for the frame and a series 2020 size 20 for the tray painting with subtle texture. Once dry, we lightly sanded the frame to allow for subtle texture only to this area. The entire coffee table painted in Artisan Tahr.
Metallic Alchemy :
Artisan Champagne gold metallic creme was applied over Tahr using a Spalter Brush, Angled Fitch brush and The One brush to allow for a flawless finish allowing only the subtle texture from the Premium Chalk Paint to show.
The Tray was further detailed with Finley Gold and Jayda Rose Glaze with a subtle touch of Artisan Dark Wax
Fine edges of coffee table detailed in Artisan Metallic Glide in Gold
Handles: Painted in Artisan Tahr Premium Chalk Paint with texture and finished in Artisan Classic Gold Creme
