ARTISTS
LU ANTRAM
An artist of many talents, Lu has been working with trash, bones, moss and whatever else she can get her hands on since 2014. What began as a passion for jewelry design and creation has evolved to include furniture, artifacts and other intriguing objects. Always pushing boundaries, no medium is safe from Lu’s appetite for experimentation.
MICHAEL DOUGLAS TOO
Creating within the confines offered by waste materials can be an incredibly difficult dance, but hey, Mike loves to dance. His process is pretty simple: no petroleum products, no parents, no rules; with ample time for staring off into space for 30 minutes (or more). His objective is equally as simple: to create long lasting furniture pieces that don’t lend themselves to any momentary styles or trends; small batch & one-of-a-kind. He likes jeans, loud music and francesinhas.
ELISE MALTERRE
Brooklyn-based designer and maker Elise Malterre focuses on experimentation and study of material. With a history in fiber arts and integrated design, her body of work emphasizes texture, pattern, and it reflects a commitment to reuse.
HERNÂNI PESSOA
Self-taught handyman, nature enthusiast and lover of good wine, Nani spent several years in the practice of making musical instruments. He always tried to play them in the end but never very successfully. He really likes travelling around by bike, camping and cooking under the night sky. He also enjoys collecting different colors and patterns of the large variety of wood that he finds and salvages from old furniture and saw mills. With those random pieces he loves trying to make interesting and useful things such as small tables, shelves, nutcrackers and even ukuleles.
