Noho Next – Rod + Weave Chairs
hehre I made this pair of Rod+Weave chairs specifically for the NohoNext exhibition curated by Sight Unseen. The inspiration for this pair started where a lot of my inspiration comes from – directly from the material itself. So I stumbled across these 2 green leather hides at my local leather supply store and I new...
Alley-Oop II
The collaborative project Alley-Oop went through many different phases leading up to our final installation at Poketo. Once we had the majority of the pieces fabricated, we did a series of photo shoots that we later turned into prints and postcards. Here is that series:

Here is the latest and greatest version of my Rod + Weave chairs. This design traces back to Chair No 2 of my 5 Chairs project from last year. I dropped the height of the arm rests and made walnut landing pad. I used Black 11oz American Buffalo Shoulder leather for the weave, and I...

The Little Dude – Low Table

Para-Sling Coffee Table
Hopefully I’ll be better at naming my children than I am with naming my pieces. Ugh. It has parallel shelving, but then it also has a leather sling – Para-Sling. Why not? This piece started like a lot of pieces do – an open ended commission request. The request went something like this: “My friend...
Risom Re-Wraps
I was commissioned to do the interior design and execution of a in-house conference room on the Nike campus in Beaverton, OR. The room is used primarily for marketing meetings and therefore has a lot of unreleased Nike product sitting around – so I can’t show you any photos of the entire room. I can, however,...

PNCA Gala – Centerpiece Hanging Sculpture

I’ll follow up with more detail in the next post, but for now, here’s a video of the centerpiece that...
