Outdoor Room Large Copper Bowls by Cantor Designs
The 35" hanging copper bowls were incorporated into a new outdoor room design based on Jamie's travels to India. Using hand tools and a vintage metal spinning lathe, Cantor Designs produced the hand spun solid copper bowls that are featured in the episode by forming 42” disks of sheet copper over a wooden form as they both rotated on the lathe. With the team of Stix Productions (http://www.stixvideo.com Blairstown, NJ) set up in the studio, the cameras rolled as Rich and his assistant Terry used hand tools to shear, form, trim, heat, cool, roll and sand the copper into the finished planters that were incorporated into Jamie Durie’s Indian inspired design.
HGTV’s release schedule for the second season of the show ‘The Outdoor Room’ coincides with Cantor Design’s move into a larger production space located in the historic ‘Old Engine Works’ mill complex in Stroudsburg PA.
“The HGTV exposure and the move to Stroudsburg are next steps in the growth of the company.” Mr. Cantor states, “The national visibility from the relationship with ‘The Outdoor Room’ and the move to the Engine Works complex will increase our sales & production efficiency, permit larger scale projects to be undertaken and lead to both the creation and retention of the skilled jobs our area needs to prosper.”
In addition to producing a line of copper and brass period lighting fixtures, bowls, fountains and home accents, Cantor Designs is a wholesale contract manufacturer of spun and fabricated metal products to numerous industries including Lighting, Landscape, Architectural, Catalog Houses & the Precision Sheet Metal Fabrication sector.
