Modern Couch in Stainless and Leather

Cameron — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 15:04:44 +0000

We are in the process of building a custom modern couch and love seat for a customer with a small mid century modern home. The customer wanted something in a Knoll style, armless, with comfortable geometry, and with an integral walnut side table. The living room space required very specifically sized furniture in order to maximize the usable space while allowing traffic flow. Fabricated of brushed stainless steel the frame is now at Sage Upholstery for the fitting of the cushions in white leather. Finished project is here.

Modern Bathroom Vanity

Cameron — Thu, 18 Mar 2010 16:36:10 +0000

This mid century modern home was badly in need of some help in the bathrooms. The two small 30″ vanity tops did not offer much counterspace and could not be made any larger. The solution was to create a 4″ thick custom concrete countertop with a small integral sink. The sink was set off center to provide a small counter space. The contemporary walnut cabinets have full overlay doors and stainless steel legs and pulls.

Enclosed Water Feature for DVCH

Cameron — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 13:54:07 +0000

Rachael Van Dyke and Cameron Van Dyke have been commissioned to do one of four large artworks for the new Helen Devos Childerens Hospital opening in January 2011. The enclosed water feature is 16′ tall and will consist of three large acrylic panels with water entering at the top and passing through a series of colorful whimsical obstacles. Each panel depicts children interacting with water in one of three memorable ways – playing in the rain, bath time, and learning to swim. A requirement of the hospital is that children participate in the making of the artwork. Three high school art classes will be selected to work with Cameron and Rachael to create and test the obstacles. Below is a model of the water feature.

Sheltered Flight Outdoor Sculpture

Cameron — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 13:02:23 +0000

This large sculpture by Cameron Van Dyke was commissioned by Jenison Public Schools and was made possible by grants and gifts from:

Holland Area Arts Council
Jenison Public Education Foundation
Michigan Council For Arts and Cultural Affairs
Miller Welding Supply
Padnos Iron and Metal Company
Vruggink Bros Concrete and Construction Inc.

Cameron spent a week with the art students developing the concept and visual language for the sculpture. The pieces of the sculpture were fabricated in Cameron’s studio and then assembled at the site. The students were invited to view the progress daily and watch the installation process.

“The sculpture Sheltered Flight embodies in abstract form an issue that almost every 13-14 year old deals with; The tension that is created between the sheltering of parents/teachers and the students desire to start making their own choices. The title additionally refers to an enclosed area where birds learn to fly before being set out in the wild – hopefully a metaphor for the Junior High experience.”

Habitat Outdoor Public Sculpture

Cameron — Tue, 26 Jan 2010 12:48:50 +0000

This public sculpture by Cameron Van Dyke was commissioned by Celedon – New Town as part of its new urbanism development in Grand Rapids, MI. The large sculpture sits near the main entrance welcoming visitors and residents.

The sculpture is fabricated in steel and hot dipped galvanized for protection from the elements. “The title refers to the network of interdependent elements in a community and the way that those elements hold themselves together. It is a metaphor for the way a community grows and the way the natural world builds and supports itself.”
