"We both love and loathe vegetable tanned leather. Its like a new canvas. You want to keep it beautiful and clean, but as you're working it shows every blemish. Veg-tanned leather is a great metaphor for life. It so pure at first, and as it ages the stains begin archiving a historical timeline showing character and telling a story the more its used.""We want people to play and feel like they are discovering a new relationship and addition to their environment.""We are inspired by our philosophy: “…because quality is the antithesis of waste.”""The balance of active and calm. A special space should be an arranged balance of curated objects leaving you room to breathe and drift into your imagination, while also areas to mentally stretch out and creatively lounge.""We use repetition to create a dynamic balance between form and function with an intense hands on approach and great deal of attention to each product.""Our creative process is both physical and aesthetically refined. We individually hand construct and creatively design all of our products in our Brooklyn studio as a team. In essence, each piece is interactive from its beginning with a range of input and ideas on the table always intending to maintain a contemporary and timeless feel with luxury and longevity in mind.""Every product is a balance of perfection and on the spot problem solving... and damage control. Basically we do a lot of "Oh, shit!" and then we delve into figuring out how to fix it, which is often where the sweat turns into magic. It's probably a universal truth for all creatives."See more benches & ottomans created by new artists, local designers and studios
