Brooklyn, since 2019
Design with Purpose
Every frame passes through sixty steps. We cut Italian acetate on the mill, then bevel, pin, bend and tumble each front by hand for 72 hours in wood and pumice, before a final polish on a cotton wheel. It is slow on purpose: it is the only way to get a finish that lasts a lifetime.
