With never-before options to dress up your space these consoles find a perfect fit. They speak the language of your style – bold, glamorous, rich, traditional yet contemporary.
Materials preffered
As heart of console lies in sort of material and technique used to build it thus as mentioned by Ashok Basoya, Founder, Momenti by Ottimo, “Wood is the most popular material for console. It is often used alone or in combination with other materials like metal, glass, stone, rattan, bamboo, marble etc. Consoles come in a wide range of finishes, including lacquer matt and high gloss, hand painted, carved, with stain glass and much more.”
Usage of Console
Gabriele Rosina, Furniture designer at Donghia, Wisma Atria focusses by saying, “A console can be used against a wall as a functional sideboard in a hall, dining room or bedroom. It can make a great statement with a mirror or art above it and lamps, books or accessories on it.”
