designer paul isabella sent over some of his work and i was intrigued by a number of his pieces. paul is currently a student at the savannah college of arts and design (where i’ll be speaking on may 15th if you’re in the area!) and designed a series of products with wonderful sense of playfulness. paul’s “burly man” chair uses wilsonart sample chips to create a unique form, which his “modfather” clock distills a traditional gradfather clock down to its most basic form. my favorite piece of paul’s is “el credenza“- a flatpak piece that has holes in the top for lighting. these are all prototype projects but i thought they showed real promise and an interesting way of looking at furniture and products. you can find more information on paul’s work right here. [thanks paul!]

[if you’re in the savannah area i’ll be speaking at scad on may 15th- i’ll post more details when i have them]
