Gentner Design
Rooted in a language of sculpture, character defining details, and world renowned craftsmanship, the work is found at the crossroads of design and art.
Established in 2011, the namesake furniture label is a rare combination of aesthetic dexterity and mastery of craft resulting in furniture and objects that are expressive, formal, and transcend materiality.
The collection is based in metal and incorporates only natural materials such as leather, wood, and glass in unique ways, challenging our assumptions.

"Grocery-Getter" Helmet & Jacket by Patrick Fitzgerald
By Patrick Fitzgerald
Located in Chicago, IL
To Chicago-based artist Patrick Fitzgerald, his sculptures are a means of traveling through time. Working from found materials, Fitzgerald constructs miniature soap box cars and the branded attire of their imagined drivers. Futuristic forms imbued with history, each sculpture is an exercise in imagining the future through the lens of the past – or vice versa.
Entitled “Grocery-Getter," this helmet & jacket set is an homage to High-Low Foods, a Chicago-area grocery chain from the mid-20th century. Ever-appreciative of old-fashioned aesthetics, Fitzgerald captures the spirit of the grocery's painted purple facade in this colorful jacket...
