Egyptian art fascinates me because the furniture is still stand today. All due to high engineering standards and the fine details that are put into their work. As a result Dentil details, geometric designs and strong proportions all influence my work.  The dentil detail on the top of the cabinet is a direct example of this. Overall proportions are strong and relate well with one another. The thickness and height of the legs in relation to how tall they are. The height depth and width of the cabinet in relation to the proportion of the drawers really works well with one another.
