Collaborations & Projects

 

Glossier/

Flagship, Stores & HQ

A few pieces for glossier’s spaces: monolithic door handles greet customers at the soho flagship, a glow stool sits in the sunny LA showroom and a glow chair lives in the HQ.

 

Glossier/

Design Week Installation

 

a gauzy tableau for Sight Unseen 2018 included spindly vanity & tables from ‘spun stone dust’ - a composite of remnant stone powders sculpted on an idiosyncratic lathe and a softly translucent mirror, chair, and armoire made using glossier jars as a base material

 

Galerie Lafayette/

Recycled Cosmetics Packaging

 

We created a collection of vanity objects from used cosmetics containers for the opening of Galerie Lafayette’s Champs-Élysées location .

We collected, cleaned and processed the emptied cosmetic containers, then sculpted forms and created metal molds, and finally injected the recycled resins into the molds, one by one.

 

 


Eileen Fisher/

Stores & campaign

 

we created a few custom tabletop pieces along with our glow furniture for eileen fisher stores throughout the country. The video was included in the company’s ‘making space’ campaign

 

Nespresso/

NYC boutiques & campaign

 

we created a biodegradable installation celebrating a few unique sustainable materials for Nespresso’s NYC locations.

Nespresso’s ‘Doing is Everything’ sentiment was grown from mycelium (mushroom) over hemp. Hanging flowers were dipped in an ancient lime plaster recipe, one that sequesters carbon as it cures. And sculpted rocks were made from a variety of composites- coffee ground & alginate and hemp & lime.

 

Glow collection

recycled resin furniture

 

Inspired by the gauziness of childhood memories, glow is a collection of furniture made from recycled resins.

The softly tinted, translucent objects have a handmade feel and a glowing satin finish. The collection is available through various retailers and galleries. Please click here for more information.

 

Vitruvian Vessels/

ancient lime plaster and fresco

 

Created from a recipe in Vitruvius’ 10 Books of Architecture (15BC) , these vessels celebrate an ancient technology- using the chemistry of burnt lime combined with marble dust.

Variations of this material have been used throughout time: from Bavarian churches during the height of Rococo, to the Great Wall of China, to Native American wattle & daub.

Here, it is combined with hemp, sculpted over months, and finished with mineral pigment in true Renaissance fresco technique, where the pigment is bound as the lime cures.

 
 

Floral escapism/

ancient lime plaster and cellulose acetate

 

Created during the summer months of the pandemic: over one hundred cast cellulose acetate flowers, airbrushed in a vivid color palette, applied over a sculpted marble and lime mirrored frame- provide a floral escape from the moment.

 
 

Stone dust tables & lamps

marble dust spun on a lathe

 

Spindly vanity & tables from ‘spun stone dust’ - a composite of remnant stone powders and ash sculpted on an idiosyncratic lathe and hand sculpted table lamps from stone composite.
