Amara
Amara Side Table, 2018
Amara is an exercise in subtlety that serves as a punctuation mark for modern living. A small side table, available in pink or Carrara marble, is formed with a delicate edge detail and a base that recesses as it meets the floor. Made from a solid block of marble, the table is hollowed out to reduce the physical weight while maintaining the clean, simple lines.
Amara is handcrafted in Italy.
Block

Ishicoro
Ishicoro Series, 2015
Named for the Japanese word for ‘river rock’ the Ishicoro table is formal and organic at the same time. Ishicoro 2 is composed of two unique shapes held together in contrast, balance and tension by square-shaped bars.
Ishicoro is handcrafted in Chicago.
Fold
Fold Bench, 2015
An experiment to create a three dimensional object from a 2 dimensional plane resulted in Fold. When seen from a specific angle, the structure appears to be two thin surfaces in delicate balance. When seen from other angles, the structure is striking in its depth and boldness. Fold is handcrafted in Chicago.

Magazine
Magazine Table, 2014
Exploring ways to push the typology of storage in an accent table, the top level of Magazine serves as a standard side table, while the dish beneath, concave in shape, gives the table its purpose of holding magazines, books, toys, or just about anything else that might benefit from easy access.
Magazine Table is handcrafted in Chicago.
Zig Zag
Zig Zag Bookcase, 2014
Conceived as a bookcase designed to break up the plane of a wall, Zig Zag is a modular system which works as a dynamic backdrop or a transparent room divider. The system begins with a minimum of two modules and can extend to an infinite length. Mirrored black glass shelves support the clean linear graphic quality of the staggered structure.
Zig Zag is handcrafted in Chicago of powder coated steel.
Florentine
Florentine Pendant, 2014
Inspired by the Renaissance architecture of Florence, Italy, Florentine fixtures address concepts of positive and negative space. The pendants conceal an LED bulb within the central cylinder, removing an expected visual and expressing absence rather than presence of the bulb. Three formal variations work effectively as individual fixtures or within aligned or overlapping groupings.
Florentine Pendant is handcrafted in Chicago of powder coated steel.
These statement LED lights, whether hung alone or in a cluster, make for a playfully modern home accessory. The LED light bulb is concealed within the central cylinder, allowing for more refined composition. Available in three shapes and sold individually, these pendant lights bring uniqueness and character into any space.
Shift
Shift Table, 2010
Inspired by the materiality and architecture of the Pantheon in Rome, the Shift occasional table provides playful interaction with the user, raising questions of what defines a table. The central void does not allow for the accumulation of objects and instead gives the table the freedom to be itself and questions the subject/object relationship. Shift was selected for inclusion in the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2019.
Shift is handcrafted in Italy.
Unir
Unir Table, 2010
Playing with tension and notions of Japanese joinery, the Unir Table shifts one’s perspective when in use due to the asymmetrical quality of the table. The table also challenges assumptions around the hierarchy and power dynamics of the archetypal table by redefining how spaces can be occupied. The table takes its inspiration and name from the Italian word Unire meaning coming together or bringing together.
Unir Table is handcrafted in Chicago of powder coated steel and glass. 126 x 36 x 29 in.
Lume
Lume LED Chandelier, 2010
Inspired by the mobiles of Alexander Calder, Lume is a kinetic chandelier that captures the effect of a starry night. A canopy floating over moving arms provides a separate, dimmable light LED ring that washes the ceiling and provides a balance of functional and sculptural light. At the time it was designed and built (pre-LED chips), Lume represented an innovation in the use of single point LEDs and in the use of coaxial cable both as a means of structure and as a means to run electrical current throughout the chandelier from arm to arm.
