Custom Metal Furniture and Furnishings
I design and fabricate metal furniture and furnishings. Although I use various materials that complement metal, such as glass and wood, I always try to use as much metal as possible. Some people think metal is a cold and sterile material, but I find it to be quite the opposite. Metal can be very warm and beautiful depending on how you treat or patina it.
Of all the objects that I design and create, I find that I am most passionate about making furniture. Furniture has the power to transform a space, and I enjoy seeing how my work alters different environments. When I create a piece of furniture I envision it in the space in which it will reside, and I marvel at the idea that what I have designed will outlast me.
