I design and build my furniture ideas. Sometimes this seems crazy. But it allows me to stretch in new directions, since I don’t have to engage in the struggle to communicate my design to a craftsman.
This piece is composed of intersecting curved, colored, oak veneer panels, resulting in a bit of surprise when clients of the video editing company step off the elevator. Yet the piece is also strong and highly functional. I see a bit of Disney Hall, mixed in with mid-century furnishings in the completed work. Tough to build, but once I forget all the fabrication issues, I think it is simple and functional.
