Cypress Collection
Pulled from waste materials around Chicago.
Rescued from a demolished building, this collection of tables and vases recontextualizes the perception of trash. With a base composed of Pecky Cypress wood, the lumber was originally used as a domestic roof and is hundreds of years old. The tabletops, sculpted from a reduction fire clay sourced from the same area, nest perfectly with hand-shaped joinery.
