Gemini
Dudd Lite Exhibition 2026

Designed in collaboration with my daughter Gemma, Gemini delivers celestial ambience in dark spaces. The face fabricated in machined nickel-plated aluminum, with an internal back reflector to maximize wall wash and a 3D-printed nylon body. 

Gemini was designed for Dudd Haus x The Future Perfect’s night light show, Dudd Lite.

Aeron ESD - Semicon Korea
Herman Miller
2026 
Semicon is a key tradeshow in the electronics design and semiconductor industries. Critical to this industry is workroom furniture that is ESD (Electrostatic Discharge) compliant.

For the design for Herman Miller’s presentation of the Aeron ESD Chair at Semicon Korea, we borrowed the formal language of ESD assembly spaces (clinical, with pegboard and metal elements) and created a neutral, clean space for storytelling, education and product testing.

Chicago Showroom
Designtex
2025
Central to any working textile showroom is the ability to show drops of material and hang them easily. Textile yardage typically comes rolled on a tube and is cut to length - with that cut edge often needing to be treated. 

My solution for Designtex’s new Chicago showroom was a display system that allows extra yardage and rolls to be hidden. The resulting Textile Box system evokes garden planters with the textiles emerging upwards, supported by an unseen substructure.

Woven Structures
USM Modular Furniture
2025
Woven Structures is a collection of objects that integrates Danish paper cord into the USM Haller system for the first time, celebrating the interplay of contrasting materials that each hold a place of importance within the world of furniture design. 

The proven legacy of USM Haller, combined with paper cord’s durability and repairability, creates a family of objects imbued with both visual richness and functional longevity.

Tidal Lighting
RBW2025

Tidal is a program of flush mount ceiling lights in three sizes. A spun aluminum shade surrounds a central 12” diameter diffuser, floating in space and balancing the distribution of light upwards and downwards without ceiling shadows.

The undulating form of the shade is an architectural evocation of the waters edge, and provides a logic for the three sizes of Tidal offered - in one, two or three ripples, for specification in a variety of interior spaces.

Anchor TablesBestcase 2024 

A bold and minimalist side table, Anchor embodies a straightforward, honest and highly resolved approach to object making - values shared by myself and Charles Constantine of Bestcase.

A block of heavy material (such as travertine marble or solid wood) provides the weight, bent sheet steel provides the structure, and visible bolts hold everything together.

Furniture

B-Side Table
Memo Furniture 2024 

Inspired by the simple mechanics of records on a turntable, B-Side's top can be easily removed and flipped over — activating the backside of the material and extending the life of the table.

B-Side's top system also allows for a broad range of materials and finish options, including cork, linoleum, solid surface, veneer, and recycled substrates.

Boom! Bop! Boing!MillerKnoll 2024 

For Design Days 2024, Standard Issue re-created the experience of Herman Miller’s Test Lab atop MillerKnoll’s Chicago showroom, entitled Boom! Bop! Boing!

An aluminum superstructure was designed to accept eight fully functional mechanical tests, which ran continuously over the course of Design Days. A perimeter fence kept viewers at a safe distance and provided a moment for graphics panels.

The exhibit provided a visceral and immersive experience that stood out from the typically static displays of furniture encountered during Neocon.

Medicated Objects
Paraphernelia Exhibition2024

Medicated Objects was my contribution to the inaugural Paraphernalia Exhibition, curated by Eliza Axelson-Chidsey and Jess Fügler.

Three aluminum containers hold two essential daily medications in an orderly and purposeful fashion. 20mg Vyvance (or the equivalent generic) capsules for ADHD are held in a 25 count array for taking at home, and in a 5 count array for taking at work. The third container holds 60 tablets of 2500mcg B12 used to treat pernicious anemia.

Tango Watering Can
2024

Formerly produced by Areawaere, Tango is a small watering can designed in collaboration with Pete Oyler. Our goal was to design a friendly and functional watering can with a minimum of material.

Through sketching and conversation, we happened upon the idea of the handle and spout being the same part, oriented opposite one another in relationship to their function.
