cubinets

To the left is the modular version in which the position of the cubes and even how many there are can be modified to suit different home environments. Below is the welded version.

industrial stems; vases

brian — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 01:23:44 +0000

For each of the holiday shows I was a part of, I needed to have some smaller pieces. Couldn’t really put a table on top of a table ya know? These vases came out of that idea. They are made with steel, walnut, and scientific glass. I’ve had some tell me their flowers lasted more than 3 weeks!

cyclopods; octopus and squid

brian — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:02:29 +0000

The octopus was the 4th highest selling piece of art at SF bicycle coalition’s ‘08 winterfest auction. The squid and octopus have sold at Deconstruction, East Bay Open Studios, and Expressions Gallery in Berkeley.

crossbones series

brian — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 21:23:47 +0000

This is a series I collaborated on with matt for the first Deconstruction. Below are some pictures of the series and the commissioned piece we are currently working on.

And the work in-progress, more pics to come:

firegrate

brian — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 18:20:04 +0000

This custom firegrate was built for a friend of mine living in an old victorian in san fran. The fireplace is an odd size and he wanted something that would fit and look cool. I’m really happy with the way this turned out and am excited to see it in action.

bedframe

brian — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:57:23 +0000

My friend needed a bedframe built. When I saw the beautiful 3 panel door I knew it was perfect for a headboard and then looked around to find the matching set of doors for the platform. It was living in her beautiful victorian in sf, and has now moved over to the east bay.

wine rack

brian — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 01:43:51 +0000

This is a wine rack that I built a while back. It is fully scalable floor to ceiling and I put it together with a bar or restaurant having two or three of these “towers” helping to create the aesthetic.

ibeam table

Made from a salvaged steel ibeam. Below are some more shots as both an end and coffee table. You can find it in both zincdetails, san francisco and fiveten Studio, oaktown. Email me for pricing.
