Furniture / Design Objects
This furniture collection commissioned by Johnson Trading Gallery re-configures the cubic form as the underlying structural unit. Through rotation, mirroring and multiplication each piece is composed from a simple set of relationships - cubes fastened by triangular or semi-circular forms - that are both decorative and structural. The full collection includes two benches, a console table, a dresser, a pair of nightstands, a hexagonal dining table with six nesting chairs, a planter chair, a series of lighting fixtures and two cabinets.
