Sticks & Stones

Emboldened by the successful coffee table exercise, we next tackled another little 3 ton piece - a chunk of rough-cut white granite that moonlights as a reception counter. 

Now, if you want more of a challenge than just a coffee table, try moving something that stands upright and and has a healthy gravitational pull to either side. This is not recommended for the frail of heart, believe me.


But we got there in the end. And now the reception area is really taking shape - big, bold, striking shape


(You may have noticed that both our granite pieces weigh in at 3 tons, and this is not a coincidence. Three metric tons is the maximum load capacity of our trolley jack that does the final indoor maneuvering - which is just as well, or who knows what our design guys would have tried to bring in...)


So, when we decided that we needed a few trees in the restaurant (as one does) we made it easy on ourselves and did it in kit form...

You take three trees of the right height and shape, cut them up, and then re-assemble inside your dining (or other) room in roughly the same order. Very roughly.
Pot plants are so last season.
And, hey presto. Simple as that.
