The collection was designed in 1992, when our shop was in Tribeca. Some of the shots were taken in our loading dock. The studio photos were taken by the photographer Deborah Denker who had her studio upstairs on Greenwich Street. Her husband Jeff Jamieson, a furniture designer himself, was working for Donald Judd making the color plywood furniture out of Judds basement in Soho. The pieces in the Tribeca Collection were designed using only two components: maple legs 1 1/2" square and 3/8" thick birch plywood. They components are connected with screws. No glue at all is used to assemble the chairs. They are hand painted. The Children's Museum of the Arts in Soho purchased a number of pieces way back then and some are still in use. |
