with polished concrete for color ,and texture.The combination of these
two materials allows me to create architecturally dynamic pieces of
furniture with unexpected warmth."

teens in Chicago. after attending the Art Institute of San Francisco he
went on to make large scale figurative and abstract sculptures. Drawing
on his skills as a sculptor Michael started a line of whimsical steel
furniture in 1990. In 1995 he started to use concrete for many of the
table surfaces. This new element added an unexpcted warmth and richness
