Check out the article by the School of Architecture & Environment on our furniture studio course from Winter term 2019!

They talk about the inspiration students got from their chosen metalwork objects from the Margo Grant Walsh metalwork collection at the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Some of us focused on form, others on properties, some of us contrasted, and others replicated. I thought this approach to design, taking inspiration from an existing object, was really interesting! We still had creative freedom, but we had a foundation for our designs. The variety of material and furniture types created by my peers in the course was incredible! We used all types of woods, ash, walnut, birch, beech, plywood, pine, and probably more! Overall our class exhibited lounge chairs, dining chairs, storage boxes, wall shelves, mirror pieces, side tables, desks, plant stands, wheelbarrows, benches, and stools.

I’m so flattered they chose my piece as the thumbnail image for the article. Thanks SAE!
