Self Produced Furniture
A self directed line of furniture and home goods developed for the Such + Such brand. Built off of the success of the Block Clock, a tessellated hard wood clock, a series of furniture pieces were designed and brought into production.
The line consists of the Block Clock, Coffee Tables, Stools, Leaning Shelves, and a collection of hardwood storage Crates. The Block Clock was an exploration in surface manipulation produced through digital manufacturing. The objective was to design a ready-to-ship product manufactured from a single process and material. The original prototype clocks were machined in large blocks and split apart on the table saw, producing unique versions. These initial batches were sold from our storefront and through assorted galleries. The refined production version pictured here was sold nationwide through online retailers. The Stools and Coffee Tables grew out of an exercise on modernizing the classic hair pin table leg and designing towards a circular table/seating surface. The final design portrays each leg blending into a looping singular structure. This welded structure is then trapped between a steel plate and the hardwood top. Through-slots machined in the top mimic the form of the legs and celebrate its assembly method and structure, exposing the metal base to the viewer from all angles.
The collection was featured as a finalist in West Elm’s Made in America competition and was part of Google’s corporate office furniture package. It was sold both through a wholesale dealer network and direct from our online store front. All of the hardwood used in the collection was responsibly harvested from within a fifty mile radius of our manufacturing facility. Ash was chosen as the primary hardwood both for its tone and its abundance as a result of the locally invasive Emerald Ash Borer.
