Nightwood Pop Up Store - New Work


Recently, I was asked to participate in a new Pop Up Store that is being heralded under Nightwood Design, in a very beautiful raw space on 189 Schermerhorn Street, Brooklyn. I'll be showing new pieces, hanging lamps, cabinetry doorknobs and other items. The opening is on August 19th and the store will be open through October 31st.

The Hours will be 12-7, Wednesday through Sunday.

The Magic of the Mirador










Recently, I have been thinking of travel; in general, craving it. So I thought I'd share some photos of a trip taken a few years ago, to southern Spain. The focus of the trip was to see and document the Andalucian architecture, dating back to medieval Europe. A very ornamental world.

Framing was an incredibly important element in the architecture, in both small and large scales. Both in terms of internal surfaces and spaces (how one views THE architecture), as well as the external views afforded from the windows (how ones views FROM the architecture). The structures were designed so as to visually fuse the ruler with his landscape: considering where his throne was placed, and where he greeted his visitors with the backdrop of his kingdom behind him. The landscape and cities themselves could thus be considered as ornamental.

And boy, was it all so magical. Sigh.
