For years, Core77 has produced an online guide for Design Week in New York. And even though they have been exclusively online since their inception (way back in 1995), they announced an ambitious experiment for their 2014 guide by choosing a format that many had assumed was dead: print. For four days in May during […]

For this project, we were approached by graphic design studio MTWTF to fabricate a rather unusual sign they were designing for Red Bull Studios.

For his project “Western Standards S2-48,” artist Alan Ruiz asked us to fabricate a series of panels in MDF similar to the work we did for his project “Against Nature.” As in that project, the CNC router was used to create a series of shallow inserts made from the profile of the steel studs that […]

For their work on Storefront for Art and Architecture’s 30th Anniversary Show, Bittertang asked us to help create part of a waterbed in the shape of a petri dish.

For BOFFO Building Fashion 2013, Bittertang designed an installation inspired by Michael Bastian’s fall/winter 2013 collection. Their “Creepy Chic” interior warped and distorted antique furniture, and set the dark and eerie stage for Bastian’s clothing. We were asked to help CNC cut part of one element of their display, a shelf that was to look […]

For his 2013 exhibition “Half of Your Life is Behind You,” artist David Cavaliero asked us to laser engrave a series of large glass mirrors.
