Since 1992 I've designed and manufactured plywood furniture, mostly for children. My first shop was in Tribeca. Then I moved to Dumbo, and for the last 20 years, I've been in Red Hook.

I'm from Buenos Aires, graduated from Harvard (Architecture) and live in Brooklyn. I love Brooklyn.

I sold furniture to the Guggenheim Museum Store when it was in SoHo and to MoMA Design Store on 53rd Street. The ConnectMe Desk was displayed in their window for their "back to school" season.

Over the years, several of my designs were featured in the home section of the New York Times, my favorite paper.

I have participated in many trade shows, including ICFF (New York), Accent on Design (New York), ABC (Las Vegas) and the BKLYN DESIGNS Show (Brooklyn).

I admire the furniture and architecture of Gerit Rietveld, the factory produced pieces by Jean Prouve, the sculpture and the writings of my hero, Donald Judd, who I briefly met at his Green Street Studio in 1992.

My designs are guided by what I call "practical minimalism", a straightforward approach that prizes functionality and the efficient use of materials well above stylistic considerations. My pieces are more constructed than designed, and like sawhorses or temporary scaffolding, they are simple and easy to make.

find these constructions beautiful, even if there was never an intention to make them pretty. There is something inarguable about them. They are what they are and there is no pretension, no "style", no "look". Common sense, experience and repetition is the best formula to guarantee good results.
