Studio Location: New York, NY
Describe what you make: I make unexpected furniture pieces for life’s most in-between moments.
The most important thing you’ve designed to date: The 5–9 TV Tray Table
Describe the problem your work solves: I’m focused on the way we actually live, like eating dinner in front of the TV, rather than pretending we’re all at a dining table every night.
Describe the project you are working on now: As a follow up to The 5–9 TV Tray Table, I’m creating something for your 9–5.
A new or forthcoming project we should know about: The 5–9 TV Tray table just launched this month. Our next-generation version of the TV tray reimagines a nostalgic classic for the way you actually live—because no one with a night to themselves is sitting in silence at a dining table. The 5–9 TV Tray Table features a slide-under base so you can pull it close and fully extend your legs, a removable butler tray to bring everything over in one trip or use separately, and the perfect height and amount of space for eating or doing work. Completely made in the USA and available in bathroom tile blue or wall paint off-white.
What you absolutely have to have in your studio: My cat, Karlie, is always sitting in a chair next to me.
What you do when you’re not working: I’m a simple gal. Going to a workout class, watching reality TV, or online shopping.
Sources of creative envy: Charlotte Perriand, Eileen Grey, and Bauhaus
