Between Mayan calendars and hit television shows, the world has undead creatures on the brain. Popular culture has shifted its interest from traditional vampires to post-apocalyptic zombies, and interior design is no different. Recently, producers from the popular Atlanta-based show, The Walking Dead, purchased several pieces from MBW Furniture to prepare for herds of “walkers, roamers, lurkers, biters, floaters, and lame-brains.”
Mahogany Curio Cabinet Bookcase – Mahogany Jewelry Armoire
Both mahogany pieces are great selections for waiting out impending zombie attacks. The sturdy hardwood structure guarantees strength and stability. Besides performing the traditional function of storing books, jewelry, and belongings, the curio and armoire would be ideal for barricading the door against undead intruders.
Mahogany’s straight grain is extremely durable and generally free of pockets or voids. In the event that mahogany furniture survives the end of the world, its reddish-brown color darkens over time and shines brilliantly red when polished. Unlike the walking dead, mahogany naturally resists rot and water.
Continuing with a rustic, wooden design aesthetic to match the curio and armoire for The Walking Dead, this two-tone, cherry- and brown-finished bed features select hardwoods as well as cherry veneer. Belonging to Universal’s Brentwood Collection, woodworkers crafted the piece in Georgian style. It boasts dovetail joinery in the mode of Old World craftsmanship to ensure interlocking joints and years of durability.
Cherry is reddish lumber and aptly named. It also darkens with age and healthy light exposure. Its grain is straight and fine with a smooth texture. The wood contains gum pockets and brown flakes, natural and unavoidable characteristics that many consumers and designers find desirable as well as visually pleasing. Like the two pieces featured above, the panel bed guarantees style and function that could easily become a heavy barricade in the event of zombie apocalypse.
