Monitor Fiberglass Stool Blue by Asa Pingree

By focusing on structural integrity, movement, and comfort, Asa uncovers silhouettes that look natural in any setting. Inspired by an eclectic island community off the coast of Maine, his foundational pieces exude the strength and grace of the bold coast where Asa learned his craft. Using his extensive knowledge of classic lines and lightweight yet sturdy structures, Asa has found a way to bring a bit of Maine to Brooklyn, where the company is located. "My father likes to say 'keep it simple, stupid,' so I try to take that to heart by moving back to quiet, classic lines that feel organic and innate." The sculptural elements in his work informed his first furniture line, which combines swooping lines with contemporary angles that you can either relax into or admire from a distance. The current Asa Pingree workshop is based in Brooklyn, where Asa co-runs a thriving community and coworking space for creative professionals. In 2015, Asa banded together with Stephanie Smith to found Asa Pingree. Buoyed with Stephanie's extensive experience in creation production and operations management, Asa Pingree has had the pleasure of seeing their pieces incorporated into a wide variety of homes, offices, and restaurants in just a few short months.
