radius furniture design

the objective of radius is to create furniture that is rich in experience and quality by integrating both trigonometry and common joinery.

cocktail tables end tables

all pieces are thoughtfully designed and produced in the USA without the use of screws, glue, or nails.

dining tables shelving

material combinations are endless as every finished product is made-to-order to be as custom as desired. sustainable material options are also available for most designs.

radius furniture design

model shown black painted maple w/brass accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 35” x 18” x 18” h surface: 48” x 30” available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

the 90 degree swinging motion creates multiple peaks and valleys that act as points of contact with the glass and floor.

model shown walnut wood w/black anodized aluminum accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 36” x 29” x 18” h surface: 48” x 48” available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

the inverted v-shapes of the 2 identical base pieces result in multiple configuration options. both solid and void are expressed through the depth of the base form.

radius furniture design

model shown cherry wood w/plain aluminum accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 19” x 15” x 22” h surface: 24” diam. available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

this end table, as it does in the cocktail table version, expresses the inverting of the v-shape. there are 3 points of contact to the floor and glass, revealing the balance to be steady and straightforward.

model shown (large image) maple wood w/black anodized aluminum accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 18” x 18” x 18” h surface: 24” x 24” available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

the compressed version of the spiro360 makes for a steady and tight rotation contained in a smaller volume.

spiro360c end table

radius furniture design

model shown bamboo w/copper accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 19” x 18” x 22” h surface: 24” diam. available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

complimentary to the spiro360, the end table is taller and has half the rotation value. the single arch form also manages to hold its balance with 3 contact points on both the floor and glass.

spiro180 end table

model shown walnut wood w/plain aluminum accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 38” x 32” x 28” h surface: 54” diam. available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

swivel motion of the individual pieces create a z-shape, which conforms to the boundary of the circular top. the animated form also gracefully elevates the top.

point-z dining table

radius furniture design

model shown (large image) walnut wood w/plain aluminum accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 31” x 27 ½” x 28” h surface: 48” x 48” available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

complimentary to the a.i.r. series, the dining version’s “x” form effectively defines the positive and negative spaces. the result is a maximization of space beneath the surface for comfortable seating.

a.i.r.45rd dining table

radius furniture design

model shown (large image) walnut wood w/copper accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 36” x 37” x 28” h surface: 48” x 48” available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

branching from the spiro90s and point-v concepts, this model expresses a flowing angular rhythm. the pair of bases can be flipped to offer a different visual connection.

spiro60sm dining table

radius furniture design

model shown walnut wood w/plain aluminum accents ½” thick polished edge glass

base: 52” x 25” x 28” h surface: 80” x 40” oval available in: base: all materials accents: all metals

this scaled-up version of the point-v concept can also be modified in form as the two bases are independent of each other.

base: 29” x 8” x 8” d W/10” vertical center piece surface: 30” x 8½” available in: base: all materials, except acrylic accents: all metals

the extended version offers a longer span with a similar look of the wingspan-mid. the pin lengths are increased as each rotating member is larger than the original.

wingspan-full shelving

radius furniture design

model shown vertical bamboo w/clear anodized aluminum accents 1/4” thick polished edge glass

base: 21” x 7” x 7” d w/9” vertical center piece surface: 22” x 7½” available in: base: all materials, except acrylic accents: all metals

the bird-like form spreads to support the glass as it spans this 20” distance. exposed supporting pin shafts visually connect to make a curvilinear stripe back to the body of the shelf.

wingspan-mid shelving

radius furniture design

model shown walnut-stained oak wood w/stainless steel accents 1/4” thick polished edge glass

base: 10½” x 6” x 6” d w/8” vertical center piece surface: 10½” x 6” available in: base: all materials, except acrylic accents: all metals

compressed version of the original wingspan-mid model, this shelf fits into tighter wall widths with a similar concept.

with over 5 years of experience in the field of architecture, i feel that i bring forward-thinking enthusiasm to the furniture design industry. itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about lines, curves, light, shadow, tectonics, and structure... a recipe for implied motion, dynamic forms, and lasting function for daily life. with sketchbook in hand, i am always looking to bring the expressive qualities of radius designs to new levels, through principles of mathematics, proportion, and joinery. thanks for your interest,

there is more to radius than furniture design. it is the fusion of light, shadow, form, lines, and curves. These are best captured in the 3rd-dimension and also as dramatic 2-dimensional graphic art. the following are limited print representations of set #1 of the graphic art series, which are available upon request. images are framed with a standard 1-1/4â&#x20AC;? black wooden frame, 4-ply acid- free matting, & uv-protected acrylic. the other option is matted with no frame.
