Covet my coffee table: Furniture creator Alexey Oleshov

Leave a Comment

FacebookPinEmailTweet

Originally from Russia, but now based in Sydney, furniture designer Alexey Oleshov is the co-founder of TEXTURE.design โ€“ a purveyor of unique furniture, antiques and artworks. His unusual coffee table, which he is sharing with us today, is quite the talking piece due to is unique combination of antique French doors, concrete and glass.

โ€œItโ€™s my own creation and part of the TEXTURE.design collection. This table is a handsome piece with a perfect combination of modern lines and antique spirit,โ€ says Alexey. Featuring antique doors created in France in the 1920s, the table also sports wrought-iron curves and its many details are set under a tempered glass top that is supported by a recycled stone and concrete base. It’s quite a mix!

โ€œIt has been known to stimulate conversation. Toughened glass and dynamic lines of dry-sealed concrete carry the energy of the city; while the wood, and iron greys of the inset piece evoke the warmth of the French home from which it came,โ€ says Alexey.

Alexey is a fan of the artist Mark Rothko

And as for whatโ€™s on top, Alexey uses the table to showcase the things that currently inspire him โ€“ most of which have a story behind them. โ€œI usually store my perfumes on the coffee table as I like to put them on before I leave for the day,โ€ says Alexey who is favouring two at present; Le Labo Patchouli 24 and Kirkijan.

Coffee table

The designer also likes to use the coffee table to store art books and the novels he is currently reading. โ€œPresently, Mark Rothkoโ€™s book is giving me colour inspiration. I adore his timeless art pieces and would love to have an original of his one day.โ€

The Rothko tome sits alongside a book that explores the famous champagne house Veuve Clicquot and a Peter Lindbergh photographic album. โ€œItโ€™s a beautiful book that inspires me for its art, culture and colour. Sadly, Lindbergh passed away recently, so this collectible is now a memoir to him.โ€

Coffee table

As for the designerโ€™s coffee table styling tips, he is at pains to emphasise just how important the coffee table itself is. โ€œItโ€™s one of the most undervalued pieces in the room โ€“ itโ€™s incredibly important in defining an area, creating flow and providing a space for ornaments and personal items,โ€ says Alexey.

And when it comes to updating your coffee table items, Alexey advises changing things up from season to season. โ€œBeautiful new items will help you energise the space. By simply adding and rearranging a few pieces, you can completely change the atmosphere and mood of the room.โ€

A glass shower screen is not the only option! In A glass shower screen is not the only option!

In this 80s villa reno, @trentinidesign took inspiration from an archway typical of the era and used it throughout the home.

The bathroom was transformed from a classic three-piece set up that included a shower, bath and vanity. Kathryn removed the bath and split the room in half and designed an arch to sit between the two zones. 

โ€œI wanted something spectacular. Rather than having a vanity with a piece of glass like you would typically see, I was really trying to push myself as a designer. It was costly but it worked out well and the feedback has been great."

Swipe for the before and follow the link in bio to see the rest of this home.

One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavet One half of popular parenting podcast @wedonthavetimeforthis, turns out former Neighbours actor @gemma_peanut is even more multi-talented than we thought! Will you check out the joyful and colourful reno of her holiday home (and airbnb) @yo_caba_caba?!

Head over to the blog via link in bio to read all about why she went bold and full of pattern in this project, which is a stark contrast to her zen and neutral Northern Beaches abode.

There's also plenty of details about where things are from etc.

"Iโ€™m not an interior designer so I just chose what I liked and followed my gut. Ultimately this home has been an opportunity to explore my alter ego โ€“ it allowed me to do things that I wouldnโ€™t normally do.โ€

Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial Not many friends in life fall into the unofficial family category and they're a special gift. So ends three weeks with @danisteve81 who left her husband and son in the UK (I'm forever grateful they lent her to me!) to come and cheer me up and help me in the most practical ways after I spent Christmas and New Year in hospital. There were tears and I miss her so much already but how amazing to have had all that time together as adults. Such a rare treat and would never have happened without having been through something so challenging. Silver linings and all that. So many other friends have also been incredibly thoughtful and kind. There aren't many times I'd say this without cringing but I am 100% blessed!

I still cannot believe we have been friends since we were 12! 12! Are you still close with your childhood besties?
The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_ho The renovation of this 80s beach shack @camillo_house is a work of art and while almost every surface was updated, the decision to keep the original slate floor was genius if you ask us. 

Owner @clarehillier__ says: "With its purple, pink, red and brown tones, the slate was the starting point for our interior palette."

Come and check out the before and afters via link in bio now and read the reno story. It's a real beauty.

And you can book it for your next holiday too!
