Located in the South Coast Collection shopping center, Costa Mesa's premier destination for design and interiors, the Studio is more than 20,000 square feet, making it one of the largest DWR stores in the country. The space is centered around a design hub with our Light Cloud lighting installation and 30-foot-long walls of upholstered tiles showcasing the hundreds of available choices for our collections.


The brief that I received was for a series of occasional tables, a coffee table and a side table. And one of the main aspects of that brief was that Design With Enreach was looking for something they used walnut, brass, and a warm stone top. I started out immediately figuring out how I can compose these materials. I did this sketch of just the base without the top and everyone really fell in love with that base. But the problem was that you couldn't see it if you used a stone top. So we decided to use a glass top so it could really emphasize that base. So the glass is actually made from the same manufacturer that makes all the glass for the Noguchi tables. The coffee table is the signature piece. It's what I put mostly emphasis on during the design process. And when the design was chosen, it was pretty easy to take that same design language and apply it to a side table to really create a family. When I was designing it, I thought a lot about planes. You have the vertical planes of the legs and then you have the horizontal planes of the brass. And there's a lot of kind of material blocking with this piece. Overall, it's complex, but when you break it down, it's really simple parts. There's one brass shape that's repeated twice and there's only two different sizes for the legs. So it's really only three parts that's assembled to create something that's really beautiful. My signature on the bottom is probably my favorite thing just because design within reach to me is meant a lot. You know, growing up in a city that was in New York, you don't have access to design muse So even when I was designing this, I would sit inside the design with the reach showroom in Atlanta and just sit and work and draw and sketch for hours because that was my only access to these wonderful works of design by all these famous masters of design. So just to have my piece in there amongst those with my name on the bottom of it is really meaningful. This will probably be one of my favorite pieces I've ever worked on for the rest of my career.
