Part of The SLATE collection, The Shale is an Artist-Edition Hand Crafted Accent Cabinet designed for the collector who values a profound narrative behind every object. It acts as a grounded, weighted sanctuary where your personal collection becomes an extension of the art itself.
Slate stands as a monolith of suppressed exhaustion, his presence bound by the physical weight of a needle through the lips and a secret history etched into his very skin. He serves as the silent recorder of forbidden truths, a sentinel of the heavy cost paid to maintain a shared household illusion. Though more compact than its counterpart, this vertical vault holds the same architectural weight and emotional depth, designed to anchor smaller spaces or serve as a focused point of repair in a bedroom, lounge, or entryway.
THE ARTIST’S PROCESS
FROM DIGITAL TO TACTILE
The art begins as a digital composition, a clear, internal vision that allows for precision before the physical work begins.
THE HAND-FINISHED STANDARD
We believe in the human touch. The transition from screen to physical is intentional and slow.
Foundation: The single-door face is printed on premium, US-sourced poly-cotton canvas.
The Touch: The artist hand-paints and finishes the artwork with love, ensuring no two editions are identical in texture.
The Seal: Protected with a durable nano-polyurethane resin for a moisture-resistant, daily-use surface.
Provenance: A signed Certificate of Authenticity (COA) follows every piece home.
WHY IT MATTERS
While the composition remains the same, the brushwork and hand-finishing create a unique texture for each unit in the 32-edition run. You are acquiring a piece of the artist's time and care, furniture built to be touched and lived with.
MATERIAL & ARCHITECTURAL CRAFT
We build with materials selected for their structural integrity and sensory warmth.
Core & Frame: High-quality alder wood core paired with a premium walnut veneer finish for a deep, natural grain.
Architectural Detail: Refined golden aluminum trim provides a sharp, sophisticated contrast to the wood’s warmth.
The Base: Signature sculptural turned legs with orb accents, elevating the art to eye level.
Premium Hardware: Outfitted with a high-grade internal storage drawer and soft-close hinges for a substantial feel with every use.
Customization: Alternative finishes and custom dimensions are available upon request.
VERSATILE UTILITY
This piece is designed to adapt to your ritual, providing a secure and artistic vessel for your most valued items.
The Interior: Features a fully finished custom painted interior with a dedicated storage drawer for smaller essentials.
Multi-Purpose: Engineered to function as a luxury bar cabinet for a curated bottle selection, a statement nightstand, or a definitive entryway anchor.
TECHNICAL DIMENSIONS
The slender, vertical silhouette is designed for presence without overwhelming the room.
Total Height: 51” (129.5 cm)
Cabinet Width: 22 (56 cm)
Cabinet Depth: 15” (38 cm)
Leg Height: 29” (73.6 cm) — Signature sculptural orb legs.
PROVENANCE & THE SHALE & SLATE
This is a limited run built for collectors who value identity and rarity. The THE SHALE & SLATE is an exploration of the internal states we feel but rarely name, reflecting shared emotional realities rather than individual portraits.
Scarcity: Strictly restricted to 32 editions worldwide.
Authentication: Every piece is signed and edition-numbered by the artist on the interior panel.
Validation: Delivered alongside a physical Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist to ensure long-term provenance.
DELIVERY & LOGISTICS
Built to Order: Please allow for the slow, intentional pace of artist finishing.
White-Glove Handling: Professional delivery and placement are standard for all collector pieces to ensure the work arrives as a ready "safe anchor" for your home.
