Untitled Side Table Polished Nickel Plated Brass Small Accent, End or Drink Tray

I am a designer and maker working from an industrial studio in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. After spending a lot of time in museums thinking about the progression of the things we make, I came to the idea that instead of aiming for a factory-made appearance, I could leave my hand visible in every object I produce. I use materials and techniques that promote subtle variances, such as hand-dying leather, or acid rubbed patina solutions on polished metal. For my "Series" collections, I establish a set of rules, such as a group of materials or techniques, culminating in one first prototype. Those rules are then applied to a family of objects, each expressing that form with varying sizes or functions, often responding to customers' requests and ideas. My ambition is to create new Series indefinitely. Each piece I make is individually hand assembled and stamped with a trademark and unique manufacturing number.
