While scouting through a new stack of Sothebys and Skinners antiques and fine arts quides I located more interesting american furniture to base a few new designs on. The collections that these guides feature represent some of the finest woodwork made in this country. I look for interesting stories that support the furniture as well as important provenance and dates. Starting my work from such a foundation sparks my imagination and ties me closer to our nations history. From there, I merge the redesign and building process with a fitting contemporary metropolitan twist.
