THE DRIFTWOOD HEART PROJECT

​On Valentine’s Day we saw this beautiful driftwood heart. On today’s blog I wanted to share a few more details of this stunning piece and how we got to the end result.

We collaborated with Citrine Living on this driftwood heart. This item is a special reminder of the client’s late husband and will meaningfully sit on her bedroom wall. We had to make the design perfect.

​The design uses what we term as the “Robert’s cut”, which turns a regular moulding on its side and creates a box. We crafted a gold frame from Larson-Juhl at the base for this cut and then placed a deep white frame again using moulding from Larson-Juhl with a gold matching filet into the Robert’s cut frame to create a shadowbox.

​We mounted the heart on an off-white raw silk mat to add warmth and ensured that there was a lot of space around the item to give the heart the importance it deserves and as well provides balance for the wall that it will hang on.

​We opted to not put glass on this piece so that the roundness of the item protrudes beyond the frame and gives it a free and open feeling. 

​I wish you could all have the chance to see this piece in person and to meet the amazing owner. This was just one of those projects.
