A coffee table that reinterprets the formal qualities of Isamu Noguchi’s “Kouros” sculpture into a trestle style table. The Asymmetry brings an unexpected vernacular into the furniture realm as your eye follows the profile of this curious table. From all angles and perspectives the half inch smoked glass top allows you to experience the full joy of the table’s off beat harmony.

The Milan-Ashima concept is the wedding of two very distinct styles of furniture into a post-post-modern piece that seems to loose the visual representation of both of its conceptual parents in a psychedelic symphony of wiggles and color. It all started when I was say my first Nakashima piece in person (a Conoid Desk) and was blow away and could not understand what about it held my attention and its own charm. I wanted to breath to the irregularity and looseness of some Nakashima pieces that I love so much into a piece of my own without being trite or obvious. My undying love for Sottsass and the Memphis movement’s use of color was the way to make this piece truly fresh and idiosyncratic. The result was the table here, a current contender for the “Weirdest Table” award from the Guinness Book Of World Records.

Derivative of the Alvar Aalto Y Leg, this table explores the possibilities of the Y Leg with an all wood top as opposed to the Aalto glass top. The wood top is lifted off the frame work of the legs with multiple tenons to give the illusion that it is levitating. The separation of the legs and framework from top allows one to clearly view the sensual curvature of the conjoining arches and see how the lateral frame work seem to waterfall flawlessly into each other creating the Y shaped leg. The rounded edge of the top further accentuates the lift of the top and makes it feel like the one and a half inch thick top appears thinner and less substantial. At the corners of the table the nexus of the rounded corners are the inverse of the Y leg joints which are situated directly below them, creating a visual harmony. The ultimate goal of the table was to create a piece that was an anathema to typical woodworking language which is symptomatic of the tools used to cut and make furniture. The piece is full of curves and complex joints making a piece that is truly in visual harmony.

Furniture is often self referential and a product of the lineage of historic work. This piece and others in the Palombo catalog defy this long standing tradition paving a new avenue for exploring furniture. Using inanimate objects as templates and transforming them into pieces of furniture make for a fun and off beat piece.

Context and framing are everything when it comes how to perceive and understand. Like a frame to a photo or a garden to a house. The mirror is a celebration of you, the colors lend themselves to joy and happiness, bright and luxurious. So when you see yourself dressed before your day, you start the day with a celebration of yourself. Light and water, the elixir of life, create a rainbow and you are front and center.

Inspired by the color and playfulness of the “Carlton” shelf by Ettore Sottsass, this shelf takes an alternative attitude toward the form and function than that of the Sottsass shelf. The Flatpack Milano Shelf by Greg Palombo prioritizes function through its form of purely vertical and horizontal planes, and its flatpack nature. Visually the piece is playful, reminiscent of legos in its construction, blocky form and its color.

Square on the outside, squiggly on the inside. This side table is just confirmation that one’s charm and peculiarities lie on the inside.

This table is the third iteration result of a long study of French Baroque work, specifically the undulation and tapering transitions of the legs into the apron of chairs and tables. The mission has been to extract certain elements from this historic work and give it a new life in a contemporary formal language and color. While maintaining the ridged exterior profile of a clean modern aesthetic, life was given to the undulating interior of the legs and apron. The look of this table is subtle and understated yet quite complex as you start to que in on the details.

The arched side table was designed in conjunction with its coffee table sibling, both inspired by Alvar Aalto’s Y Leg table.

Designed to combine visual simplicity and excellent craftsmanship to achieve a subtle elegance, the LTT coffee table brings it together is a stylish, contemporary package.

This simple table was inspired by another Alvar Aalto piece, the Stool 60. With the legs inverted, the table has a great elevated feeling while sitting at it, or viewing it from a distance.
