Among many things on the "New Year's Resolution" list, I am SO EXCITED about launching the new Meatpacking line of Capsule Furniture in 2011!
The wood is beautiful, the story behind it better! It is such a shame that the contractor was going to trash these 200+ year old beams. Sadder still, this happens EVERYDAY in New York City. However, the silver lining is that I was able to rescue the wood from the landfill, have it stored, and have been hard at work designing the new Meatpacking Collection!
The city, luckily, has required that the facade of this historic building in the heart of New York's Meatpacking District be preserved. And "your's truly" has the greater pleasure of designing a new line of furniture with the equally historic, solid, wood-beam, skeleton.
The New Meatpacking Collection- coming VERY SOON at Capsulefurniture.com
