SHITIMINTO

Collections of Functional Art

A brand new liver and an epiphany about what is important. No more waiting for 'someday' to start diving into things that strike my fancy, because 'someday' may never come. Perhaps you share in my interests. Take a look around and if you see something you like, I might be willing to part with it or build something custom to your desires. I'm still creating and collecting.

Cigar box tables

What do you do with hundreds of cigar boxes looking for new life? Why not tables! It sounded like it was worth the experiment and wouldn't it be cool if you could still open the boxes to hide your 'stuff'. They turned out better than expected because the thin, lightweight nature of a cigar box is actually pretty strong once glued together in a matrix (think square honeycomb). Better yet, they are very popular. I've sold dozens of these and will continue to build more. If you'd like one, contact me to see what's available, or if you have something specific in mind (i.e. brand, color scheme, size, etc.), I can probably build that too. 


CIGAR BOX CHAIRS

Chairs seemed inevitable when the tables got big enough to sit at. Was worried I couldn't make them strong enough, but they surprised even me. I'm not a small person and have no hesitation inviting anyone of any size to try them out. As with my tables, I try to make all boxes open for storage.

Once you go down the road of making cigar boxes into tables, other thoughts creep into your head. Why not?
