Puzzling Furniture by Steven Holl
Horm is unlike any furniture company I know of. This company has hired a gaggle of famous architects as their designers. One piece I love is Steven Holl's table. I'm a “starâ€-chitecture fanatic who has visited a number of Holl's American buildings and observed his work with jaw-dropping awe. Now, I have an opportunity to own a piece from the hands of this master. I don't know how to describe this piece except to say it's very Hollian. More specifically, this work adds a third dimension to the early experimental watercolors of Holl. This piece also smacks of a Mad Max movie.
