The Tide Set
The Rope Chair
I designed this chair for a NYC apartment. I constructed the frame using steel tubes, bending and brazing them together. I then used natural jute rope to give the chair a unique silhouette and make it more comfortable. I also added adjustable elements for when the rope moves over time with use.
Ceramic Necklaces
I created these necklaces with batch production in mind. They were designed to be simple to make and profitable. I used cutters that I 3D printed to be able to quickly reproduce the same shape. I used parian and stoneware clay to achieve different looks and then went on to sell many at pop-up shops.
The Parasite Chair
This chair was inspired by three words: weld, braze and parasite. I used the forge to heat and bend metal to make it look like it was growing off a chair that I recylced. I added the side table to give join the two functional parts.
Steam-bent Pegs
I created these pegs for a quick steam bending project. I made them using ash strips and bending them around a jig to produce elegant curves which I then attached to a piece that I chose because of its strong grain.
