Incollect Magazine 71 4 | Bellatrix Console by Antoine Vignault OAKOneofakind Gallery This spectacular, futuristic console is a handmade table in sandblasted oak gilded with gold leaf and gilt brass and a spectrolite granite top. The piece is signed and numbered from an edition of two and according to the designer, Antoine Vignault, it is designed to look like it is suspended in the air. Vignault describes it as “a phoenix floating through a starry sky,” adding, “my Bellatrix console spreads its shimmering wings.” The first Bellatrix console was created for the exhibition UNIVERS at Galerie Patrick Fourtin, Paris, in 2015 and was sold almost immediately to interior designer Tony Ingrao. 5 | Wedge Console Table by Eben Blaney Eben Blaney Fine Contemporary Furniture Eben Blaney designs and builds handmade contemporary furniture in his Maine studio that is clean- lined, elegant and functional. He works mostly in warm, beautiful natural woods as evidenced by his Wedge Console, composed of three precise wood components plus a wedge that is assembled to lock the whole structure in place. The precise joinery involved in this piece is visible, revealing the imaginative engineering that gives the piece its animated, dynamic stance.
