Product Shelves
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Sparrow Salon & Body Work now sells products! They needed a way to display their goods so I drew up a plan and built this arrangement. The glass is re-used from a neighborhood store that was moving and I made my design fit the dimensions of the glass. I put their chest on wheels so that it could slide in and out of its opening. I added some images of the building process so show the long steel wire I used to keep the shelves square and the setup technique I used to weld on the tabs to hold the glass shelf perfectly flush with the frame.

Found Object Chandelier
Together with Caroline we transformed a discarded lamp shade into a chandelier for Sparrow Salon & Bodywork. We found a lighting store in Williamsburg that had all the inner workings that we needed. We put it on a dimmer so you can crank it up for checking out highlights or turn it down low for ambiance during a massage.

phile/file/phile/file... Greenpoint's bounty of endless scrap metal has led to another creation. Sparrow - salon and body work has been greening their storefront with some choice plants and I had the pleasure of building a reclaimed-steel planter box to sit above their main window. I sliced and diced some discarded filing cabinets, found sitting out on a curb, and welded them back together into this planter to house these three junipers. The surface has a gun-bluing patina and is otherwise left to rust to match the rest of the facade. If you need any extra inspiration to "get your hair did," please refer to Wesley Willis's - Cut the Mullet. Check out Sparrow's glowing reviews for both their salon and body work.
