As a designer you can’t help but some ideas or shapes stuck in your head. This one in particular has been in my head for some time after seeing a space age architectural design that sparked this idea. Currently I am working on a whole family of furniture but this concept will be the first of many to come with multiple uses. Making the best of this chaotic 2020.
Icosa Tables: A pivot on an old idea
A simple adaption of the Icosa lamp yields a great pivot on the idea. The simple addition of a tempered glass table top or any other table top material gets a cool result. Cast aluminum joint pieces and with aluminum tubing struts, powder coated to any desired finish.
Curvas: from a sketch to a flight to London
After working with patio furniture restorer SoCal Patio Master, I was inspired to try and design some of my own. After an initial sketch scanned to my laptop, I got to work. Luckily I was on a vacation flight to England to provide some distraction free work time.
Once landed I had all the basic layouts ready to go. Designed to be made from brass rod to allow for the natural patina process to take over with time or from aluminum rod powder coated to any desired finish. Woven rope is also a standard for this design but can also be substituted by vinyl banding which opens up a larger possibility of finishes.
Stools: he just had to have them
Working with a a furniture restoration business, I was contacted to look into the possibility of replicating a set of vintage bar stools for a certain Marvel Avenger who just had to have them in his home. With a quick overall height dimension and a cell phone picture
I got to work on a variety of 3D models for the customer to approve of. Working with an old acquaintance/fabricator we took the approved and improved over the original design to a reality. With a custom pink powder coat finish, via my old shop and the restorer’s vinyl strapping craftsmanship, we were able to achieve the goal: customer satisfaction.
