Zig Zag Redux Chairs

Thursday, May 17th, 2012

My line of furniture has a wide variety of pieces, but long absent has been a chair. Things have changed now in a big way. I would like to introduce to you the Redux chair.
I set out to build a modern day take on Rietveld’s classic Zig Zag chair. Using my aluminum joinery and exposed hardware, I joined the panels in a completely Harrison way. The joints are milled out of solid chunks of aluminum and the fasteners are stainless steel. To top it off, these chairs just had to be lacquered red!
We had a great photo shoot in which I asked my friend Sarah to come and participate. You can see the whole shoot here. This is definitely one of my favorite shoots of my work.

Seats of New York

Tuesday, April 5th, 2011

In 2008 I was invited to participate in a show called “Seats of New York”. The show was a survey of handmade seating pieces from across New York state. Jon Binzen was the curator and he chose my Jupiter bench. The show ran in conjunction with the Furniture Societies annual conference which was hosted that year at SUNY Purchase.
Recently I came across a video about the show that Jon produced for Fine woodworking magazine. He gives a nice talk about my bench and I wanted to share it. My segment begins at 1:09 into the video.

A catalog was also produced for the show and Jon did a nice write-up about me and my work.

Architectural Digest Home Show

Sunday, April 3rd, 2011

I am back from an excellent time at the Architectural Digest Home Show in New York City. I grew up in New York so it was so good to see so many friends and family.

I was thrilled to be able to introduce my handmade modern furniture to so many great people. The response was overwhelming and I am already looking forward to exhibiting again next year.
