Daniel Lefcourt
New York-based artist Daniel Lefcourt uses a variety of materials in his extensive body of work and seems to float between painting and sculpture. Overall his work has a monochromatic feel and is often repetitious, as seen with the repeating bands of black or raw MDF boards.
Ted Lott
Madison, WI-based artist and woodworker Ted Lott created this series of small house frames out of wood while in residency at the Anderson Ranch Art Center in Colorado. A nice comment on the role of traditional craft in the modern world.
Furniture Factory by Lucas Maassen & Sons
Furniture Factory is a pine wood furniture collection by Dutch designer Lucas Maassen and his three sons. Maassen employs his sons to paint each piece of handmade furniture. As per their contact, they each get paid 1 Euro for every piece they complete. They are limited to three hours of work per week, which is all that is allowed under Dutch laws. In order to meet the production time frames, they must paint rapidly which results in the look of each one-of-a-kind piece.
Ted Larsen
Cold Comfort Quilt
Based in Santa Fe, New Mexico, artist Ted Larsen focuses on making abstract sculptures with the use of found “non-art materials.” He chooses to stay away from one particular theme in his work and instead pursues many directions in which he continues to experiment with contexts, hybrids, and scale. I love how he uses a variety of salvaged materials including metal, wood, and wax to create such a diverse body of work.
Phloem Studio
Phloem Studio is a custom furniture company based in Portland, Oregon. Owner and designer Ben Klebba has an eye for building clean-lined pieces of wood furniture and cabinets with a modern feel. Each piece is made by hand with the type of craftsmanship that makes these timeless pieces last forever.
Miss Maple by Elisa Strozyk
German designer Elisa Strozyk‘s Miss Maple lamp is made out of hundreds of wooden triangles that she has transformed into a flexible textile. Normally one thinks of wood as simply a hard material but she has created a material that she calls Wooden Textiles that are “half wood-half textile.” Even though this piece is made essentially from wood, it still remains delicate and sculptural. The spaces between the triangles emit a warm glow from the light inside. The shade is flexible giving you the option of shaping it three-dimensionally however you like it best.
ROLU Shapes After Guy Necklaces
Sight Unseen introduced some new necklaces into their very cool online shop from Minneapolis-based design firm ROLU. These have made their way to the top of my wishlist.
Wooden Clutch by Nada Sawaya
Love the geometric pattern of this wooden clutch by Lebanese designer Nada Sawaya.
