Hands-On Design

Furniture and handcrafted objects are explored through a balance of tradition and contemporary design. Projects are developed from concept to full-scale using a wide range of tools, including woodworking, metalworking, CNC, laser cutting, and manual fabrication, where material, form, and function come together through hands-on making and thoughtful process.
