WHAT ARE YOU WORKING ON NOW?
A project I’m really excited about right now is the restoration of the old Park Plaza Hotel downtown–it’s an eleven-story structure built in 1926 for the Elks –with these insane painted murals by Anthony B. Heinsbergen. It was eventually sold and turned into a hotel, and then it became the home of Power Tools, a storied dance night on Saturdays with regular visits by folks like David Bowie and Andy Warhol. We’re creating hotel suites for long term stays on the 5th floor and flexing a lot of ideas with respect to the buildings history.

WHAT ARE YOU LOVING MOST ABOUT IT?
Anytime we’re privileged enough to work in a space with this much history and architectural significance, it just feels extra wonderful.

CHAIR EVERYONE SHOULD OWN
Hot take, a bean bag! They’re unbelievably comfortable & with the right material can feel elegant.

MOST COMFORTABLE CHAIR YOU'VE EVER SAT IN
Lol see BEAN BAG. Though we make a sofa that could rival the bean bag. So maybe our Sally Sofa as a close second.

FAVORITE ELEMENT
Water all day

This is tough. Gaetano Pesce is pretty epic. He’s really perfected the balance of whimsy and strength.

LAST BOOK YOU READ
Swimming Studies, Leanne Shapton. What a treat of a book

BOOK EVERYONE SHOULD READ
Oh man also tough (and subjective!!) Kurt Vonnegut made a hyper impression on me when i was younger. I think his sense of humor about the world was liberating for me.
