Lighting
Inspired by the atomic lattice of a diamond crystal, the Molecule Light is a sculptural 3D-printed light. This glowing art piece includes an internal LED strip that illuminates the thin plastic surface evenly. Plug in with USB. This works as a desk or table lamp, a wall sconce, or hanging pendant.
Made from plant-based PLA plastic, made to order.
Available in multiple colors. Each one is assembled by hand.
This pendant holds a single light bulb, and a geometric shade made with 1/8” plexiglass, laser cut with extreme precision. The design was a collaboration between Parker Sellers and Gregg Fleishman. It features an iluminated tetrahedron, overlapping with radial, transparent pieces that define a cube with 10” sides.
Chairs
Gregg Fleishman’s original plywood chair. The first design's process spanned from 1975 to 1979 and included more than 30 prototypes. It is made from a single piece of plywood and is a puzzle to assemble. The seat rear outer tabs need to be positioned correctly between the integral front and back legs before rotating into place. Then, lift the front of the seat slightly as you insert the brace arms.
Made to order. Expect lead times 2-4 weeks.

Mad River Rocket sleds have been central to the sledding experience anywhere there is snow in the backyard or the backcountry. Strap in, with the seatbelt and knee pads to experience the sled you can control. Once basic techniques are mastered, you will be steering, stopping and navigating this sled through terrain only possible with this sled.
Architect David Sellers began designing this set in 1965 while still a graduate student at Yale. He was studying with Sculptor Robert Engman, chairman of the Sculpture department, and influenced by Josef Albers and Louis Kahn. Later, as visiting faculty at Yale, Sellers evolved a design that is intended to demonstrate and instruct the moves of each piece and it’s relative value by the shape of the piece. Try to guess what the principle is. Seller’s thinks that an alien from outer space could figure all the rules of chess my merely studying each shape. Made from Cherry and Maple. Each table leg is designed to represent in form the winning strategies of each master, Bobby Fisher, Boris Spassky, Garry Kasparov and IBM. Patented.
