Commissioned by the owners of "Feathers of Isca" (www.feathersofisca.co.uk) a bespoke weding gown designers in Exeter, the height, length and shape of the top of the desk were specified by the clients. The shop was being refurbished and it was necessary to reflect these changes in the design and shape of the desk. As well as aiming for a pleasing, light and contemporary feel to the piece, the desk needed to house and hide tissue paper, adding machines, swipe card readers, stationery, handbags etc. They also asked the desk should somehow pick up on the stained glass windows of their wonderful grade one listed premises that backs onto the ancient city walls. The clients were extremely happy with the result; the desk was delivered two days before the shop re-opened and was ‘the icing on the cake’. I really must go down to 'Feathers of Isca' one day and take a photograph of the piece in situ.
