Thanks to Adria Vasil columnist for Now Magazine for the cool plug! Check out the article.

It’s that time of year of again; Canadian design show madness, and this year I’m building two new pieces for Come Up To My Room. Come say hi at the opening reception between 7 and 10 on February 7. www.comeuptomyroom.com

Happy New Year all!!

Here’s an update about an article I was featured in last month. I thought it was well written and explained some basic concepts of how I build product.

Check out http://www.framemag.com/. 608 uploaded some product images of which the Cubert lounge chair was selected as “Design of the Week”. Click the DESIGN AREA tab to see 608 and tons of other unique design sources from across the globe.

It took a couple of months but I finally got my hands on a .pdf copy of the article written about Radiant Dark early this year. I was thrilled to be featured and to have a picture of the Cubert lounge chair in the mix. Check it out

An associate producer from HGTV recently emailed me about appearing in a new design show. It follows the host Ambrose Price (past contestant of Design Superstars) around Toronto, learning a variety of design disciplines from key professionals. They asked me to be part of the furniture design episode scheduled to release December 2008.

In the spot, I show Ambrose around my studio, talk to him about what I do and how I do it. I won’t divulge the entire segment…I know, the suspense is kiiilling you. All I can say, is the four hours of shooting will probably translate into two minutes of glorious media exposure, WOO! They were great people to work with and I’m looking forward to see how well they edited out all my blunders.

I’ll post again in November once I have a confirmed time slot.

ps- my studio’s not that small

Ever wondered which plastics are good and which are bad? I’ve posted a link to a simple and effective .pdf that explains it all. Put it on your fridge for quick reference.

There’s a great article in the June ’08 issue of Azure pertaining to the Radiant Dark exhibition back in Februrary. There were more than 40 beautiful pieces on display at the show, so it was nice to be one of few mentioned in this article. Thanks Katie.
