Five Ten Studio: April 2010

Giovanna Torrico Bijou

Vintage sequins have been Giovanna's signature material since 2000, suspended on steel wire they provide continuous movement while revealing their sculptural and aerial quality. These qequins are a precious and disappearing resource, they were last cut in the 1930's. Their rectangular, convex and hexagonal shapes along with the uniqueness of their size, color and texture give this collection a delicately organized architectural aesthetic.

12 Sticks Design

The majority of Brian Enright's work is made from salvaged material, and he sees re-use design as a balance between the necessary destruction of objects in order to create, and the breathing of new life into those things deemed useless. Influenced by futuristic artist like Paul Pope, and classic functionalists like Alvar Aalto, he looks to balance industrial and organic ideas with the function and form of each piece.

Robert Austin Gonzalez Table

Since 1994, Robert Gonzalez has been the principle of R.A.G.E., a furniture manufacturing firm. R.A.G.E.'s primary business was office furniture. The award winning Global Desk System has furnished offices from the likes of MTV Networks, Oxygen Media, Nine West Group, Liz Claiborne, Action World, Monsanto Co., Monterey Carpet, Richard Chamberlain Communications and Wilson Media Group.

In 2002, R.AG.E. evolved into creating custom residential furniture. That quickly led to designing interiors and contracting apartment renovations. Several of these interiors are featured in the Design/ Build Portfolio.

Now in 2006, Robert introduces GRACE... a collection of sculptural furniture in limited editions and by commission. Coinciding with the introduction of GRACE, Robert will be dropping the business name R.A.G.E. and will begin using his name Robert Austin Gonzalez to brand himself as a designer.
