Lyle London:
Studied with sculptor Varujan Boghosian and numerous visiting artists (Larry Zox, Dimitri Hadzi, Robert Indiana, Jack Zajac and others) at Dartmouth College in the late 1960’s. Zajac’s style of biomorphic abstraction has had a lasting influence on his work. After several years of carving stone and practical experience in the art bronze foundry, he began working primarily in metal. The intimate scale and pronounced formalism of earlier cast bronze pieces have given way to an increasing body of large scale commissioned works mostly in copper and stainless steel. Another important change in London’s work has come from incorporating a greater sense of spontaneity and fluidity through the use of high-tech fabrication techniques. Sculptures integrating water features and kinetic motion have appeared since 1985. 

  This sculpture illustrates the complex dynamics of a breaking wave. The piece is typical of the artist's style of organic abstraction and it was a tribute to John Lennon.

Love his works. 

Arthur Ganson:
Did you know that machines share all of the sensual passions and desires of humans? This one has the capacity to bathe itself in luscious, viscous 70 weight motor oil. For a machine, could there be anything more satisfying?
Arthur Ganson truly has a twisted mind the likes of I have never seen before. His ingenuity defies gravity. Check out his works and especially The above machine. He definitely has something for everyone. Enjoy.

Cerruti Baleri:

"Barely 31, The Irish Craftsman Joseph Walsh has become one of the most sought after names in furniture, his distinctive free flowing style and sinuous curvilinear forms makes his work highly coveted by collectors and museums alike."

Bespoke person, Financial Times - How To Spend It, March 2011

"Irish born designer Joseph Walsh falls into the "I don’t know how he does it" category. Self taught, his work manages to be sensually stunning and technically brilliant at the same time..."

The Wall Street Journal. April 2011

"Joseph Walsh expresses his passion and imagination through his work ethic and commitment to exploring the depth and potential of wood as structure, form, material, technology and ecology. His work is a testament to the beauty of pursuing the mastery of a material and exploring a life’s work by learning from each experience. His wood pieces move like the wind, bend like paper, mold like clay and have the strength of bone. We continue to be delighted by the potential wood has and await every project Walsh does to rediscover this material wonder."

Heywood-Wakefield: 
One of my favorite designs for furniture. All of their furniture is 100% made in the USA in Massachusetts and North Carolina and hold their value as true pieces of art from the history of our great country.



Company, founded in 1985, carries on the Heywood-Wakefield Modern tradition with solid wood furniture in the Mid-Century style. With antecedents in Moderne and Art Deco, roots in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s but with a decidedly contemporary look and feel, Heywood-Wakefield furniture works well with many design concepts due to its strong, solid birch wood construction, simple aerodynamic lines and light blond color. Although Heywood-Wakefield's streamline styles exhibit a strong retro look, it is perfectly suited for today's design requirements, and never looks dated or "antique".
