Inspiration
Welcome to a new addition to our website——our BLOG. It will include anything and everything about furniture and design (not just ours) that I’m thinking about. Enjoy it and give us feedback!
MY INSPIRATIONS
I’m often asked “what inspires you”? That’s a hard one because the list is endless. It could be an interesting pattern or motif, a great movie, or a museum show that has absolutely nothing to do with furniture. The experiences spark images of lifestyle and home and I am inspired to create something appropriate for them. I sketch on airplanes, on the beach, at my desk, wherever and whenever I want to record an idea. It’s both an intuitive and conscious process——I turn an abstraction (a feeling or experience) into a furniture sketch and then make a studied drawing for production.
And for all of you furniture and design fans, music lovers and pursuers of cool, here is my current don’t miss list…
