award winning dog-inspired furniture piece

Project Gallery: Studio Furniture

From the arched stance of a dog to the languid flow of a pepper leaf, Connor Design-Build draws inspiration from familiar yet often overlooked objects to craft one of a kind functional sculpture. Using experimental forms and textures, Connor Design-Build engages the viewer on multiple levels of interest. Striving to maintain the feeling of or flow of movement that comes from the inspiring object, the form of the art piece is intended to intrigue the viewer before the practical function is realized.
