Altesi Paper Lanterns

We were asked to design and make the lanterns for Altesi Ristorante, NYC. 

Hand-stitched leather straps hold the paper box lantern under the natural oak canopy.  

We made a pair over the breakfast counter...

 ...and a pair over the bar.

Umbrella Stand with Hand-Stitched Leather Rail

We used a classic Guacho Weave to keep the leather as tight as possible around the ring.  

Hand-Stitched Paper Shade with Teak Base

We made a series of Teak Table Lamps with Handmade paper shade.  

We used the same base for floor lamps, as well.

Alex was a great artist, and even a better friend.  

Fox Nation

Inspired by a 19th century hand-made weather vane and 19th century hand-painted luggage initials, we created the graphic identity for FOX NATION, an equestrian plantation in Aiken, SC.
