I was invited to represent the best that the Hamptons has to offer at the New york Observer Hamptons Kick-Off Party 2012. I brought a few pieces to show off my hand made one-of-a-kind approach to furniture design and construction. The event was well attended with great food and a festive atmosphere. The Manhattan House was the star attraction as far as I am concerned. Such a monumental building!

What a thrill to have my work paired with the hans Van De Bovenkamp sculpture that graces the garden at the Manhattan House! I have known hans for many years, but this is the fist time that I have had a piece paired with him.

you can see more of his work here.
