In honor of the holiday season, Manifold is hosting a show and sale of locally designed andproduced accessories. The title of the show, ACCESSIBLES, refers to a simple premise: to design,create, and present items for sale at $150 and under.
This is a special opportunity to purchasework from gallery artists and designers who, in many cases, do not focus their professionalpractice on designing inexpensive items. Featuring work by local furniture makers, productdesigners, sculptors, and artists, this sale’s unique collection includes vessels, audible wall art,candleholders, letterpress prints, hand-turned ornaments, bags, dining table décor, steelbookends, and more.
December 8 - December 21, 2012 Opening Reception: Saturday, December 8, 3 – 8pm
I've been busy working on some new items that will debut at a holiday sale starting tomorrow (more infoon that to follow).Using scrap fabric and leather, I've developed a coaster set, and a leather 'tray'.Both products offer a bit of protection for your fine furniture.
The coasters are leather on one side and wool on the other which you can flip depending on what surface you use them on: fabric goes down for wood; leather goes down for metal, glass or stone.
The leather tray isn't for carrying, but for resting. It's a place to throw your keys, put your sunglasses, wallet or coffee, without worrying about damaging the table surface. It's reversible and available in one or two-tone.
This is a collection of various projects, ideas and inspiration. Creating is vital to my well-being but most importantly, all my endeavors--big or small--impact how I develop lasting and enjoyable objects for others. This is where I share my influences, and document the processes and results of what I design and make.
