FIELD COLLECTION
FURNITURE DESIGN
FIELD begins with a few simple elements: flat planes, clear lines, and the space between them. What interests me is how much those elements can become.
The collection grew from drawing—from seeing how a line could become an edge, how a plane could shift from flat to dimensional, and how positive and negative space could carry equal weight. Depending on the angle, the pieces can appear familiar, architectural, or almost alien, while retaining a sense of lightness.
FIELD also continues ideas I first explored in the FACET chair in 1992: furniture assembled from planes rather than mass, with structure becoming part of the expression. The economy of Charles and Ray Eames’s molded-plywood leg splint was another reference—a functional object whose clarity of construction made it unexpectedly sculptural and beautiful.
Handles appear throughout the collection, giving the pieces a sense of readiness and immediacy. They suggest objects intended to be moved, used, and rearranged—furniture understood as part of daily life rather than something fixed in place.
Originally developed for Snoopy in Style NYC, FIELD draws from the economy of Charles Schulz’s line and the unmistakable shapes of his characters. Conceived to continue beyond the exhibition, the collection can adapt to different spaces, finishes, and ways of living.
