This is a maple (stained) entertainment center made from MDF,particle board and maple veneers using a TS, a vacumn press….......the doors slide open on a curve so the TV can be seen while making the lights shine outward instead of at you

Did you cooper the curves or are they bent laminations? How large a vacuum press did it take to manage the veneers and is it a commercial unit or one you created yourself? TS (table saw?)

Roman, absolutely beautiful design and construction. Love the downlighting effect. It would be hard to improve on that.

Idea stalker!
I just knew somebody else had wandered down that corridor of my head while I was asleep! But really, great look! I’ve been thinking of something similar but with glassed side doors. I don’t imagine that those doors flip out straight and then slide back in on the sides(do they?), I have some hinges that I salvaged off a strange looking SDF at a landfill that doaccomodate opening out and then sliding backwards along side what would be the side of the cabinet. Great design…I’m sorry trhat it is MDF…I HATE THAT STUFF and will go to any length to avoid using it.
-Has its uses, granted, but there’s just no respectable craftsmanship to it… it won’t last forever…it always breaks or cracks ….the same guarantee as concrete… no moving it.

I love the sliding curved door idea—clever and practical.

Huff….........its the only picture I have, sorry!....if I had a nickeal for every penny I lost to “no picture” I would be rich, sadly…...I digress as I have no pics with the doors open but if you follow the “curve” at the top and bottom, you can sorta picture the doors in the open position?

rrdesigns….......its made from a form, mostly male forms using “curve ply” and multuple layers glued up and sucked down on a press, thus the vacumn….......press…once the “core”is made you repeat with veneers. The “idea” is not mine, it was a “picture” cut out from a magazine, and adapted to fit their room.

Jon….............not all mdf was created equall but I do share your misgivings for the product. Sometimes its the perfect product to produce the perfect result!

To everyone…..........thank you so much for the kind words, it does help, more then you know, to keep me inspired!!!!!
