Early on, Richard’s folks taught him that if you don't like what you're given, learn to make it better. So, he learned to garden, because the taste of a warm home-grown tomato fresh off the vine cannot be found at a grocery store. He learned to cook, because gathering for a home cooked meal creates community and fosters lasting relationships. In this era of disposable design, he became committed to finding the intersection of sustainability and fine craft, learning to create objects with the intention of permanence, and always with a reverence for the materials he uses. Raised in Atlanta, GA, and educated at the Rhode Island School of Design, he resides and works in Brooklyn NY.
He finds inspiration in the abundance of wood being discarded throughout NYC, from wood shop offcuts to old growth lumber scrapped from the pre-war buildings of NYC's architectural landscape. This “waste” becomes his building block, calling into question what qualifies as valuable.
Each object Richard creates is built, sculpted, and finished entirely by hand...there is no lathe work involved for any of his pieces. The desired profile is defined during the building process, something akin to coil pottery, or an analog version of 3-D printing. Piece by piece, layer upon layer, he places each individual wood block, controlling both the wall thickness as well as the overall profile. Once constructed, Richard shapes the surfaces using a variety of hand held tools, resulting in a finely honed quality with subtle undulations very similar to that of hand built ceramics.
His STACKED process is a slow methodical ritual, applying a meditative focus to this previously discarded material, stacking individual pieces of wood to create an object that’s much more than the sum of its parts. As Richard learned early on in life, and applies to his work today, strive to make it better.

Italian Hand-Forged Wrought Iron Sconce Attributed to Longobard No. 01, 1970s
By Longobard
Located in Chicago, IL
A rare Italian wall sconce from the 1970s, attributed to Longobard. Rising to 29 inches in height, the form is vertical and composed, centered around a column of hammered glass that diffuses light into a soft, rippled glow. The glass carries subtle irregularities—each undulation catching and bending the light—so that illumination feels atmospheric rather than direct. Encasing it, a hand-forged wrought iron frame unfolds in a series of delicate scrolls. The metalwork is both graphic and expressive, its linear rhythm punctuated by small circular elements in warm amber tones. These accents introduce color and a luminosity of their own, echoing the glow within the glass while extending the composition outward. The craftsmanship remains visible, and even decorative gestures feel intentional. The iron bears...

Linear Corrugation Pendant Light '5 Bulbs' in Off-White
By Tino Seubert
Located in London, GB
Linear corrugation pendant light (5 bulbs) made from off-white (RAL 9002) painted ash veneered plywood and off-white (RAL 9002) powder-coated aluminium tubes. Created in collaboration with Theodora Alfredsdottir. “Corrugation” is a collection of lights inspired by Midcentury Furniture making, honouring the technique of veneer forming. It consists of a scalable hanging light and wall sconces, which can serve as building blocks to create unique combinations playfully spanning across whole rooms. The collection takes veneer forming as a starting point, a process that requires skilled craftsmanship, which was introduced to the furniture world by design names like Alvar Aalto and the Eames couple, and pairs it with off-the-shelf aluminium tubes. A snug fit where the hard powder-coated metal meets the soft wavy wood...
