  1. It all started as an experiment in art.

    I was curious about what art was and where the lines are drawn. I had the idea to buy some blank skateboards and I tried some abstract paintings on them. None of them satisfied me and I kept sanding them back to blank and re trying (that’s the beauty of working on wood, you can always sand it back to the original). Naturally I ended up with an excess of empty spray paint canisters, and no idea what to do with them. Always being resourceful and not wanting to waste anything, I wanted to do something meaningful with them. Revelation came when one of my shop lights broke and I was left with the socket and the clamp, but no tulip. I looked around and saw the canisters, piled on a corner, and wondered… How difficult could it be? The end result pleased me so much that I immediately started sending the photos of the new lamp to my friends, and the more I sent, the more they would tell me that they also wanted one. Next thing I know I am hacking away old lamps and creating new ones that overflow with character, making candle holders from branches found at a farm and making tables from left over construction material. The more I made, the more I enjoyed the process. And here we are today, with the end result: Weasel Wrks.

    Plastic surgery

    A series of objects dealing with the concept of “Plastic surgery”.

    The eastetic of the displayed furniture results from and is inspired by an examination
    of plastic surgeries.
    Each item has undergone a different surgical procedure which produces a different change.

    Alma Chair by Lavernia & Cienfuegos for Koo International. Alma began as the study of the 2 components that make up an armchair and their relationship to one another. As a result of this study, this chair is available fully upholstered for indoor use and in an outdoor plastic version seen here. It has a unique and futurismo profile in front elevation as well as side. It poses the question, “does a chair have to look like a chair?”
