I’m happy to announce ‘Tertulia’ was selected amongst the 4 winners

(Henry Levine, Efrain Velez, Micaelan Davis, and Agustina Rodriquez )

 last night for this year’s M+D+F Design Within Reach Austin Furniture Designer’s show.

12 pieces were chosen finalists, including  Olithas. I was very impressed with the overall craft,

rigor, and dedication shown by the collection exhibited, and believe now more than ever,

that Austin is an up and coming place to be as a young Designer. Thank you all who came

to visit, and DWR’s Austin Studio for taking such good care of us,  we had a great time!

O-Lithas is a collection of outdoor/indoor furniture based on the idea of making stone-like slabs appear to be

light and fluid like a wave. The project started as play of words combining the Greek word ‘Lithos’ (Stone),

with the Spanish words ‘Ola’ (Wave) and ‘Olita’ (tiny wave), and is now evolved into a new and consistent means

to integrate steel and cement with Design.

The resulting pieces are minimalist, long lasting, and eco-friendly. The wavy pattern not only accounts for a

unique timeless aesthetic, and common language, but also functions as structural reinforcement along the span

of the slab, and to fit the radius of the metal bar base for a complete integration of materials.
