Explore New Depths with Custom Inlays by Lighthouse Laser Arts

Explorers who followed their compasses and sailed beyond the horizon helped expand our understanding of the earth.  The world is no longer conceived as a flat expanse but a three-dimensional sphere.  The compass rose collection of inlaid flooring medallion by Lighthouse Laser Arts pays homage to nautical exploration and showcases another triumph over two-dimensional restrictions, this time through artistic representation.

CustomMade artisan Zsolt Paul Golenya can create amazing custom inlays of wood, stone, metal, and glass using a combination of advanced deep gradient shading and ancient marquetry techniques.  His “unique blend of nature, science, and cutting edge technology” adds striking illusions of depth to the flat surfaces of walls, floors, and art furniture.  Take a look at some of Zsolt’s completed works from the Lighthouse Laser Arts CustomMade portfolio.

The Earth is depicted as if it were see-through in this inlaid Globe Medallion. The continents facing the viewer are made of wood. Those on the other side of the world, so to speak, are shown in reverse and in blue, as if seen through the water. You can also choose to have the continents rendered with topographical features.

“Becoming” is made from inlaid engineered cast stones and yellowheart, quartersawn white oak, Brazilian cherry, American cherry, maple, and walnut. Lighthouse Laser Arts at CustomMade.com.

The Florence Niche features cherry, maple, wenge, yellowheart, African mahogany, and green and white cast stone. Lighthouse Laser Arts at CustomMade.com.

The Florence Niche can serve either as wall art or a floor inlay. For floor inlays, carving and shading features can be recessed and filled with a high strength crystal-clear resin that can withstand future sanding and refinishing. Lighthouse Laser Arts at CustomMade.com.

Inspired by the shape and growth rings of a tree, the “Sculp-Tree” coffee table is made from eight different exotic and domestic hardwood species and consists of sixty individual layers or “rings” created with over a thousand interlocking wood pieces.  The tabletop features hardwood and stone inlays and relief carvings that create an exquisite life-like texture that can still function as a surface on which you can safely place glasses and plates, with or without an optional glass covering.
