I'm happy to share one of the most rewarding projects I've been a part of: collaborating with Mount Sinai's Light and Health Research Center to make circadian-effective light tables for Abe's Garden, a memory care facility in Nashville, TN.

Based on initial prototype testing, sleep quality increased and depression scores decreased for older adults living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias after regular exposure to self-luminous light tables. We had a goal of bringing an abundance of daytime light to people in senior living communities via updated ADA compliant versions of these LED-based light tables.

It was gratifying to learn that actigraph data from a recent study showed that participants fell asleep faster, woke up less frequently in the night, and had better sleep efficiency during regular exposure to the tables. An article about the light tables and research study is in the current issue of Designing Lighting magazine.

I'm honored that my Eleven Bench was selected to be part of the 2021 Innovation + Design exhibition at The Loft at Congdon Yards in High Point, NC. Prior to the show the bench was photographed by the talented Jennifer Hudson of Alderman Company for the exhibition. I really liked these words that she sent me along with the photo:

"This photo was taken in our barn, which is an old to***co barn. I shot it upstairs and let light in through the loft door. I love that it looks like the piece, while I know it’s walnut, might have been made from wood from the barn, as the tones are similar.

Our barn is old; our property was a working farm, built in the 1920’s. Behind the piece, you can see the gaps in between the barn siding (which reveal a subtle 11)."

Enamored with these two rooms designed by Dove + Pigeon that feature Classic Bar Stools made by yours truly. I'm especially loving the dining room's citrus vibes at this time of the year. Also note the amazing ceiling lights in both rooms. For more info and pics visit:

Just a couple of oak stools looking for company. The taller counter stool was made from local air dried red oak and features brass foot rests. The client requested unlacquered brass so that it'll develop a nice patina over time to match the other hardware in her kitchen. The shorter stool was made from white oak and feature a different leg style. It's been fun lately to explore different stool leg and stretcher variations!

Keeping the Kingston Design Showhouse thread going, it was a pleasure to have my Entryway Stand in this hallway designed by Ana Claudia Schultz.

I was honored to have a piece, albeit a small one, in this beautiful room designed by Maryline Damour and Melvin Jones. This diversity and inclusion themed room was part of the Kingston Design Showhouse at the Citizen Kingston. The fantastic pistachio wallpaper is by Sheila Bridges. Featured on the desk is my ebonized oak Pebble Tray.

This was a fun one: the client wanted oak counter stools with brass foot rests for her kitchen in Margaretville, NY and preferred to use locally sourced wood. I conveniently had recently purchased some nice air dried red oak slabs from Cairo, NY that were just waiting for the right project. It’s safe to say these stools are happy in their beautiful new home.

I'm honored to share that my Emmet Lamp is the 2020 Pinnacle Award winner in Lighting. Big thanks to the International Society of Furniture Designers and the Pinnacle Awards review committee for selecting my lamp for this honor. Here's a photo of me trying to look calm while propping up this heavy award!
