Since moving his studio from Fort Point to Milton, Quentin Kelley’s been busy introducing new pieces to Infusion Furniture, his line of handmade, modern furniture. Quentin was nice enough to send over photos of his newest pieces, continuing on his theme of clean, modern lines built with old-world craftsmanship.
I especially like the Glass Top Dining Table (above). With a clear, glass top, the focus of the table is the four legs and connecting cross-beam, especially paired with Kartell’s Louie Ghost chairs.
Quentin’s new pieces also have an added functionality, adding to their modern appeal. Take, for instance, his Transformer Dining Table . An elegant piece available in a variety of woods, the Transformer would make a beautiful anchor point for a dining room. Hold up, you say, you live in a small apartment without a dedication dining room — it’s more like a dining space — what then?
Simple. You just fold the table up and it becomes a nice sideboard.
His new Media Cabinet has a more straightforward functionality, and equally direct aesthetics — the strength and quality of the woods he uses are first priority, allowing them to tell the story of the piece.
The story of the material is even stronger in the Slab Coffee Table. With simple footing underneath, the focus is on the grain and coloration of the single slab of wood that is the top.
It’s been over three years since I’ve first met Quentin Kelley, and it’s great to see him continue to produce quality, unique pieces that represent his day-to-day inspiration as a craftsman.
