Finally took some photos of a few pieces of "improvised furniture" I've created. Built from cast-off & broken furnishings, refashioned & reborn through combination and augmentation.

SOTA CONSTRUCTION
Very happy to be posting some photos from Sota Construction's new offices in Pittsburgh's South Hills.
I have been working hard for the past few months on the custom casework and contract furniture, constructed from recycled mahogany (sourced from Pittsburgh's Mellon Bank offices), PA-grown maple, formaldehyde-free plywood, and Paperstone surface material.
The building is LEED Platinum Certified, the first of its kind in Southwestern Pennsylvania.
