∞ An Old Writing Desk:
An old writing desk Jamie and I bought in Brimfield, MA. It was beautifully crafted but had no base. Instead of building legs, we mounted it to the wall, allowing the desk to float. In the foreground is a prototype of a chair I’m currently working on in my shop. It’s a series of chairs built from a single slab with steel hardware. On the shelf is a (small) portion of Jamie’s vast camera collection.
Another lovely image from the Design Sponge article on Asher Israelow and Jamie Goldenberg.

Lamu Residence
Lamu Residence
Lamu, Kenya
Client: Suno Kay Osterweis
Architect and Interiors: Claudio ModolaSuno Kay Osterweis first visited Lamu, off the northern coast of Kenya, in 1996 after a brief safari. She was immediately seduced by the island’s heady mix of stylish, easy living and the eclectic crowd of regular visitors. She returned often eventually becoming acquainted with Claudio Modola, an architectural designer who practices in Lamu and lives on the neighboring island of Manda. In 1998, she acquired a narrow, steep plot of land facing the Indian Ocean, and quickly enlisted him to help her fulfill her dream of building a house of her own there.
Modola worked for weeks on sketches and eventually presented his client with a scheme that would fit the site’s topography and unusual dimensions. A fountain, to mark the transition from the outside to the inside, was to be at the entrance; the living spaces and master bedroom were to be placed on the upper levels to take advantage of the views and the ocean breezes. The ceilings were to be 23 feet high, and a swimming pool would be perched nearly 20 feet above the ground. The style would be inspired by the island’s Islamic architecture
Osterweis’ and Modola’s vision proved a difficult proposition. Building on Lamu is never easy. This centuries old island, with an old town that is a UNESCO protected Cultural Heritage Site, is accessible only by boat or air, and cars are not allowed.
