Design has always permeated our world. It happens on the computer, at the drawing board and often at the work bench, as we often manufacture the objects we design. The two disciplines blend seamlessly. Our graphic design often ventures into the 3rd dimension.
Block Chair
For the 1998 ICFF I designed a number of foldable pieces of furniture, suitable for small apartments. The Block Chair starts off as a wooden block. When the legs fold out it becomes a stool or table and with the back rest out it turns into a chair.
Coffee Times Cart
I designed a coffee cart and logo for a coffee shop called COFFEE TIMES. The logo started off as a working clock that was turned into a 2D print logo with the help of Aryeh Hecht.
Israeli Embassy Lobby
We were asked to re-design the lobby at the Israeli Embassy. Apart from upgrading the whole space, the main feature is this signage /seating/ table/unit that we also built in oak. Photo: Tony Fuori
Manhattan Table
When I first came to Manhattan I was impressed by the industrial grittiness of the city. With the Manhattan table I tried to express that feeling in a piece of furniture, making it look like a cast iron manhole cover. Photo: Rob Houston
Rock-a-Billy
When my son Billy was born, I designed him a cradle that could be folded and stored. In developing the folding mechanism, it started resembling a boat. I then pushed the nautical theme throughout the design. I used bending poplar and stainless steel.
Round Table
"Twister" Coffee Table
We designed and made this foldable table for the 1998 ICFF Furniture Show, to demonstrate our ability to take a simple concept and turn it into a complex engineered solution. By twisting the top of the table, the legs rise up and lock together at coffee table height. We used alum. and polycarbonate. Photo: Tony Fuori
