design lust: hale-id

I have been meaning to rave about Jonathan Nesci for a couple of months now.  I first met him on a tour of Donald Judd's 101 Spring Street studio/living space where we first began our discussion/love/admiration for Donald Judd.  I was doing the tour with school for ICFF and he was there because he had some pieces being shown at ICFF (great honor)! I can tell by the workmanship, material selection, and the various accolades he has been receiving that he is going to be around the industry for quite some time.  I was going to only show a few pieces of his but it is too difficult to no narrow it down so I just decided to basically show it all.  Here is a level of talent that you don't come across too often from a very genuine and humble guy.  I wish him many successes and hope to have a piece or five of his in my home one day! Check his work out at Hale-ID.  Those bronze bookends are gorgeous.

Had a wonderful time visiting friends and family and finally exploring a little bit of brooklyn today! Seersucker eatery in carol gardens, Brooklyn equals phenomenal experience!
