Bordello Floor Lamp
Forged Steel, Blown Glass
dimensions 60"x12"x16"
September 2011
This lamp was fabricated for the Guild's exhibit at the Perry Mansion, and is a continuation of the Bordello Lamp series that I have been working on for about 10 years. The main feature that qualifies the lamp to be a part of the series is the shade. Initially the lamps shades had colored and textured paper, but now, through a collaboration with glass artist Carlyn Ray, we have successfully blown glass into the shades.

Molly’s TV Cabinet
Maple lumber and plywood.
dimensions 7'-4" x 20" x 29"h
made for Molly Kemp
collaboration with Blacksmith Industries
March 2008
Molly needed a TV cabinet that also housed the stereo speakers, DVD player, and cable box. We both wanted the speakers contained, so they were integrated into the cabinet behind white speaker grille cloth. The handles are cocobolo wood with bronze stand-offs by Hawkeye.

Molly’s Stereo
Maple, olive ash burl, enamel paint, brass
dimensions 5'-6" x 7'-0" x 42"h
made for Molly Kemp
May 2006
Molly is a fond collector of all the arts, including and especially music. She wanted open and enclosed shelves for her records, CD's, and stereo equipment. Molly's house was built in the 1950's and has a luxurious, minimalist Hollywood atmosphere. The stereo should be easy to use, for parties, private listening, or any occassion. Witht the design, I tried to strike a balance between a cabinet that blended in to the house and called just enough attention to itself.

Dr. Deskenstein
Gray Elm
dimensions 30'h. x 75"w. x 18"d.
July 2005
Dr. Deskenstein is named that due to the number of walnut "stitches," or splines, it took to hold it together. So I designed a steel base made from 2' x 2" angle steel so if it came to life and started to walk it would have that heavy clunking sound the monster had in the movie. I wanted the village folk to scream if they saw it walking down the street.
