fix studio’s juried showcase of innovative furniture design
Circle Cabinet. Cristina Aucone.
Now in its fifth year, Show2006 showcases the best in Portland-designed “innovative and functional furniture.” Portland is getting national notice for our architects and artists. The Show shines that bright light from October 4-28 on work by some 30 emerging area designers selected by a jury whose members represent the fields of architecture, art, fabrication, and design. Expect to see work like the reinterpretations of coat tree, magazine rack, and wall storage pictured here.
“Designers are driven, often staying in the bubble of our studios without dialog. Show2006 gives us an opportunity to share our recent work with the public and each other,” says Christopher Bleiler, co-founder (with Jennifer Jako) of The Show.
