Collaborative Projects

Its been awhile since ParrotHorse posted an update. We’ve continued to progress with our collecting of antique and vintage furniture & home goods as well as working on designs for renovations with our wonderful clients. We’ve also had the privilege of collaborating with other designers recently.

Julián Molina of REFUGIO design firm invited us to design counter top height seating for his permanent kitchen installation at Design House Colombia. We knew Julian’s talent and great eye for design before the project. What we didn’t know was how many other great designs and designers our small contribution would be surrounded by.

Dezeen “Colombian designers transform Bogotá townhouse for furniture exhibition”
AXXIS “Un plan imperdible: conozca la primera edición de Design House Colombia”
Interio “Design House Colombia: últimos días para visitarla”
Fierros “Design House Colombia: Epicentro arquitectónico en Bogotá”
El Tiempo “Reflexiones sobre los objetos y el espacio”

We are 3D Printing

In the beginning of 2022 ParrotHorse Design welcomed a Raise3D Pro2 Plus printer to our tool set. We look forward to finding ways to further our own designs. So far we’ve been testing the limits of materials and the machine itself. Printing lots of tests and learning how to maintain a new machine. We are looking into ideas like replacement hardware for vintage pieces (think feet and glides) along with lighting and other smaller decorative products.

Going through inventory

With our store growing a bit, and with the pandemic allowing us to go through our inventory more thoroughly we’re starting to put some pieces that we’ve had for a long time up for sale. One that is very special to us is this Hollywood Regency style rotating brass chandelier. There are crystals all over the sphere, and it strikes me as a precursor to the disco ball. Such a unique piece!

The light is on display in our booth at Mellwood Antiques. They will be reopening their doors to the public on May 20th per their Facebook page. Wear your masks please!

Big changes for ParrotHorse Design

As with most of us in the world COVID-19 has brought a lot of changes to everyone’s lives. Ana and I have taken this moment to re-evaluate our lives, and we are now devoted to our company full-time; I was previously still working a day job designing/drafting cabinetry, and just working on ParrotHorse projects when I could.

With this is mind we’re going to be making some big changes to how we operate, and what kind of services we offer over the coming months. Please keep checking back with us, and as always you can follow us on Instagram.
