Help me name my pieces... AND THE WINNERS ARE:

This is actually a very interesting topic for me. My dad is a stone sculptor, and has asked for help naming several of his pieces.
For the freestanding cabinet… “MARACAIBO”
This refers to Lake Maracaibo in Venezuela where elegant but simple freestanding stilt houses were once found.

For the credenza, simply… “SUMO”
For its wide, low stance and slightly asian form to the legs.

Great work and thanks for sharing.

Krenov made many of those free standing babies and I believe he referred to one as being made as a tea ceremony cabinet therefor how about the ”Tea For Two” cabinet?

For the credenza, I second pintodeluxe’s ”Sumo”

Great work, you.

The free standing cabinet reminds me of a “Lookout” or “Treehouse”
“Sumo works for me too on the credenza.

It is good to see you are going to participate in an exhibit. This is good for growth as an artist.

Naming my work is difficult, at least when coming up with something that sounds cool and sophisticated.

I like the suggestions pintodeluxe made because they seem to hit the right notes. I will have to think on it today while working to come up with anything meaningful.

Just taking a look at the project page for the freestanding cabinet and “Victoria” hit me.

Why? I don’t know, it looked like a Victoria to me somehow.

Not “Victoria’s Cabinet” or “A Cabinet for Victoria” just “Victoria.”

Sumo is perfect. I can’t top that.
Perch Cabinet, Outlook Cabinet, Vantage Cabinet, Firehouse Cabinet. I’m thinking out loud, obviously. I like the “treehouse” angle.

How about the “Coronation Cabinet”.

The “Fibonacci Credenza”. That’s what came to mind with your design explanation.

Tall box and Short box. Just kidding. I looked up the Latin word for ‘graceful’, which is the first word that came to mind on the first piece… and the Latin word is ‘Decorus’. (I can’t sing but I am still in decorus)

The credenza … I looked up the definition of ‘credenza’ which is cupboard and that in Latin is ‘Armarium’. (If they got money, armarium.)

The book matching grain of the doors, the way it is “perched” on the stand and “slippered” legs remind me of a butterfly…hence The “Butterfly” Cabinet

the Freestanding Cabinet looks like it has some nice legs with high heels to me.
the Credenza looks like a “Low-Rider” to me
