I have the good fortune to be lending a hand on an incredible installation: Lumarca.

Lumarca is a volumetric display that allows viewers to experience digital animations in true three dimensional space. The video does not do it justice, the effect is pretty amazing in person. And this January 12th you can come and see it at Eyebeam.

The creators Albert Hwang and Matt Parker have done some incredible work, not to be missed.

For more information on the show check out http://eyebeam.org/events/main-space-lumarca.

And last but not least for Design Week, Break-Down: Design In Your Hands. “StyleFactory.com, Design Milk and Bobby Berk Home present an interactive design exhibition where you can make design happen, LIVE! Party-goers can influence the products that StyleFactory will produce by voting for their favorite design using social media and mobile devices.”

My Jackie/Marilyn Frame is up for voting.

Next up for Design Week, Use Me. The American Design Club is holding its 6th show, “an exhibition by 45 young American designers of unapologetically functional objects, each of which exhibits a strong sense of purpose, intelligent use of materials, and the ability to do one thing extremely well.” The list of designers showing is pretty impressive, I’m honored to be among them.

I will be showing the Secret Passageway Switch, and it will be for sale.

There is a lot of great stuff going on. First up, Design Week. I’ll be displaying and selling Jar Lamps (both bourbon and walnut) and Turned Mallets at Model Citizens. If this year is anything like last year, it is going to be incredible.

One more day left for the model citizens show. I met so many great designers and artists. There work is incredible, I was honored to be among them. I’m still trying to digest everything, but here are some shots of what is being shown.

I will be showing some pieces at model citizen nyc this Design Week. A bunch of new lamps, Monster Mirrors, Finn’s Army, Mobile Homes, and Rubber Origami Mobiles. There will also be a general store and a ton of great work to buy. I’m very excited to be showing among so many great designers and artists. If you are in the city, please come on by.

Came across these two great turned toys (thank you minor details). I love how simple they are and yet are pretty expressive. All of the artists are from Argentina, must be something great in the water there. I might have to rip these off.

Last post on the MAD Salon, I promise.

Christina Latimer, a great photographer, was kind enough to share some of the pictures she took at the event.

Thanks Christina. Check out some of her work at bailliwik.

Alma Allen is a sculptor, furniture maker, and tuner who makes some beautiful pieces. His turned stools are incredible. He has inspired me to take a crack at it.

Do yourself a favor and check out his stuff.

Kiel set me up with a sweet location. The mobile was hanging over a fantastic table and bench from Bear and Lion. They make some fantastic furniture.

It was an incredible show. There was a piece by Yoko Ono, a Chuck Close spotting, live graffiti under the High Line, free booze. It was fantastic. Open till Oct. 17th, check it out if you can.

Go see Apartment Therapy’s post on it, much better pictures than I took.
