Engineering Logic
This system is engineered as contract-grade furniture.
It addresses Hygroscopic Swell typically observed in Coastal Villa environments
by integrating the OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate into the sub-structure.
This intervention decouples the hydrophobic high-gloss finish from the reactive organic core, preventing the “orange-peel” effect common in standard veneer applications exposed to saline humidity.

Baroque-Style Typology – Aesthetic Structure
Designed as a controlled study of curvilinear mass, the Baroque-Style Gilded Console maintains
architectural discipline through a rigorous symmetry. The defining heavy scrolled supports function as
load-bearing cantilevers, transferring the static load of the top surface to the floor plate.
The visible Burl Veneer is not merely decorative but applied as a continuous skin over the
OE-Core™ chassis, interrupted only by the calibrated Gilded Carving elements that
protect the end-grain exposure points.
Project-Specific Interpretation
In a recent commission for a Coastal Villa, specified as
architectural specification furniture, the system was adapted to withstand
the specific challenge of Hygroscopic Swell.
Standard solid wood substrates often warp in marine air, causing the gold leaf to crack.
The integration of the OE-Core™ Cross-Laminated Substrate ensured the console maintained
optical flatness and finish integrity over a multi-year lifecycle.
Construction & Material Behaviour
The selected Gilding Finish System is bonded to a core engineered
specifically for commercial stability. This methodology is critical for preventing
premature aging in uncontrolled climates.
- Joinery: Reinforced mortise-and-tenon with OE-Lock™ mechanical assist.
- Finish: Multi-stage high-gloss lacquer with UV-inhibitors for colour fastness.
- Load Behaviour: Calibrated to support heavy porcelain or stone objects without planar deflection.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: No. This system is engineered per project and does not exist as a fixed retail SKU. It is strictly made-to-order for architectural specifications.Q: Is this suitable for high-humidity areas like a Coastal Villa?
A: Yes. The OE-Core™ System is specifically calibrated to resist Hygroscopic Swell, protecting both the veneer and the gilding.Q: Can the gilding shade be customised?
A: Yes. We offer various metallic tonal values (e.g., Champagne, 22K Antique, Silver) to match site-specific hardware.
Q: What is the lead time?
A: Production timelines are calibrated per project complexity and typically confirmed upon drawing approval.
