An extraordinary opportunity to design a book for the Library Council of the Museum of Modern Art. Conceived by May Castleberry, I had the good fortune to work with a brilliant text by Dr. Oliver Sacks about his amateur interest in botany, particularly ancient varieties still surviving. Including beautiful cliché-verres by Abelardo Morellos and hand made paper by Paul Wong at Dieu Donné. Printed by Leslie Miller at The Grenfell Press and assembled and bound by Mark Tomlinson. It was a great privilege and an inspiring project that I am very proud of.

Nymphenburg Porcelain Manufacture started in 1747, attached to the Nymphenburg Palace in Munich, and continues its exquisite craftsmanship today. Our collaboration began in 1999 and it allowed me to explore a material that I was not familiar with, porcelain, assisted by master artisans.

Lobmeyr Glass began in the early 19th Century in Vienna, and is best known for its masterpieces by renowned Wiener Werkstätte designers Josef Hoffman and Adolph Loos, which they continue to produce. I started working with them in 2008 when I began to explore fine and delicate glass with master blowers and engravers.

Wiener Silber Manufactur is a small manufacturer of silver objects and flatware. They have the archive of the great Vienna Secession designers Joseph Hoffman and Koloman Moser, and they continue making their beautiful designs. I started working with them in 2013.

E.R. Butler & Co. manufactures fine decorative hardware in New York, drawing inspiration from classic New England designs and methods, as well as from the forms that newer technologies allow. I started working with them in 1998. Our collaboration allowed me to explore larger scale pieces, including candlesticks in bronze as well as hardware.
