A suite of 6 designs - High Chair,
Bench, Chaise Lounge, Love Seat, Coffee Table and Stool, I collaborated
with architect Anthony Cava on the design of these pieces.
They are arranged in different
combinations, like little outdoor urban livingrooms, on four street
corners along Railroad Avenue in downtown Bellingham.
Slinky, sinuous curves of stainless
steel, ghosts of classic furniture designs from the past, sculptural
and functional.
They are used by people for different
things at all times of the day and night - sometimes little shrines
are set up on the tables, displays of merchandise at the Saturday
Farmers Market, midnight trysts outside the nightclub, watching
the world go by on Sunday afternoons.
Handbent from electropolished
stainless steel, they let the winter rain drain right through,
don't heat up in the summer sun and make a nice sound when you
drag a stick across them.
Commissioned by The City of Bellingham.
