Downtown Wine & Spirits has been a staple in downtown Knoxville since 2007, known for its excellent selection of wine and spirits. In 2016, they expanded their offerings to include cigars and sought out Old North Designs to create a custom humidor. The humidor needed to be versatile—half of it serving as a locked case for high-end spirits, and the other half as a moisture-regulated cigar storage unit. Designer Spencer crafted the upper section with glass shelves to showcase the spirits, while the lower section was entirely lined with Spanish cedar, known for its ability to regulate temperature and humidity while preserving the cigar's flavors. He completed the piece with a unique vintage latch, ensuring a tight seal, and encased the exterior in mahogany, with lighting in the interior corners to enhance the display.
With the addition of a stunning humidor, Downtown Wine & Spirits had another need: sturdy shelves for behind the register. Their previous shelves had collapsed a few times and lacked aesthetic appeal. Spencer designed strong, floating shelves that not only provide ample storage but also make a bold statement behind the register.
Two desks and a console table were build for the Redemption Church. All pieces are made with natural walnut and custom brass details.
