We were thrilled to have our set of three black walnut nesting stools, featuring sliding dovetail joinery, selected for the live auction at the annual summer fundraiser at Manitoga/The Russel Wright Design Center in Garrison, New York.
Interior designer Chuck Burleigh asked us to create a sculptural king-sized bed and end table for the master bedroom he designed at the Cold Spring Arts “Artful Living” designer show house. A great collaboration with artists Jaanika Peerna, Ada Cruz, Kaija Korpijaakko and Julie Tooth.
One of our proudest moments yet: Wickham Solid Wood Studio will be participating in the relaunch of ZONA! This pioneering home store blossomed in SoHo in NYC in the ’80s and ’90s and they are re-inventing themselves with a “pop-up” store in Tribeca for the 2012 holidays. We will have gifts of all shapes and sizes on display. Come visit!
