Just came across the spectacular work of Robert Austin Gonzalez, a Brooklyn-based designer. He’s got a smart looking site that features several collections. His Grace series consists of oak and walnut turnings that form stools and legs for tables. See below.

The George collection, pictured below, is an homage to Nakashima and uses one one of my favorite materials, corian, to construct coffee and side tables.

Additionally, the Thoughts section of Gonzalez’s site is interesting. It’s a flash file, so I can’t post it here, but it explains his design philosophy. To reach the Gonzalez, click Robert Austin Gonzalez or call 718-596-7960 for an appointment at his DUMBO studio/showroom.
