Napa Stool

$235

The Napa Stool is a Californian design with an easy, minimalist-chic, laid-back style. Made from fine steel and high-character wood it has clean, contemporary lines and an almost European aesthetic. The wood seat is a comfortable 13x15 inches DIMENSION: height any size, normally 30" tall A range of colors in anodized paint is available: Porsche Silver (shown), Lollipop Orange (shown), Neon Blue, Illusion Red. A set of these stools in one of each color would create a stunning (and witty) design drama against a bar or kitchen table Swivel seat available Several woods for the seats are available - white oak(shown), Acacia Maple, Sapele (for outdoor use), Walnut; some in 2-inch thicknesses. The price of the stool will be (slightly) variable with your choice of wood. I will deliver the stool myself within a 50 mile radius of New York City for a super nominal cost. For shipping to elsewhere in the US I will locate the best price possible, including via uShip which is safer and less expensive than the big carriers

I am a sculptor working in metal and glass. Sometimes singly, sometimes together. I find the simple expression of material to be visually pleasing, and often the stuff I have on hand will nudge my creative process. If the resulting piece awakens my visual sense with wonder, that counts as art for me.

I’ve arrived at sculpting after a heady and enjoyable journey through corporate life. I worked my whole career, twenty-seven years, at JPMorgan and all of that on its trading floors. So making art - and the solitude that accompanies it - are a striking counterpoint to the addictive buzz of life in the markets.

The short story reads like this: as an avid gardener I developed an interest to make large-scale metal art to add to the whimsy in my yard. My son, who was (and is) restoring a classic Alfa Romeo taught me how to weld; I followed this with a semester at the Silvermine School of Art. Many moons, more tools, much practise, the steady acquisition of technique (mostly from other artists and artisans) and I had learned much of what goes into my art now.

I like to use recycled steel whenever possible and I scavenge actively to collect old metal - there’s little more satisfying than cutting up and creating art from, say, an old corn planter.
Patina, texture and light fascinate me and play engaging roles in my sculptures.

My wife (an art photographer among her other talents) and I collect the works of (mainly) American craftspeople - glass makers, ceramicists, wood-workers, textile artists, sculptors - and seek out contemporary art, often at Sculpture parks. So making art is its own reward. Sharing it is even better.
