A dedicated, sacred studio supports carving large and small wood sculptures, guided by morning-focused routines and inspiration from gardens, hens, and community.
His sculptural, chunky wood forms are reminiscent of a modern day Wharton Esherick or JB Blunk. It's no wonder Vince calls his design style "Flinstones." The Claremont, California-based artist carves each stool, chair, or object from a single block of wood using chainsaws and hand tools, following "the grain, patterns, knots, and other characteristics" to find the form within. Today Vince writes in with a podcast recc, favorite book shop, and what might be the most surprising unpopular design opinion we've gotten yet.
