Zilker Botanical Gardens Entry Gate

Zilker Botanical Gate: night view

Forged Steel

1995

This gateway design illustrates a profusion of flora representing the most noteworthy plant types in the Gardens. Eighteen-foot sections at the main entrance present a memorable first impression of the gardens as seen from Barton Springs Road and contribute to the visual character of Zilker Park. Desert and woodland plants are expressed in a naturalistic collage inspired by the aspirations of the garden club members who volunteer to care for the gardens.  Fabricated in collaboration with Herrera Ironworks.

The Umasi Collection

Umasi Chair

Recycled and repurposed materials

made for Product Line

January 2005

The Umasi Collection is specifically designed to blur the line between furniture and sculpture - with perfect panels that collide into organic elements. 

 

Because Umasi is largely built of salvaged materials, it clearly comments on the nature of our consumer society. But it's also a ready platform for other forms of social commentary, with references to art history, contemporary culture, and even the politics of war.

 

We hope you enjoy Umasi.
