Paul Lanante
I never set out to make furniture, it just happened, and when it did it opened up new opportunities that I hadn’t even considered. I love building and being creative, while testing my hand with different materials. I have always been artistic, from drawing to sculpting I have expressed myself in different mediums, furniture however has given me the opportunity to express my creative side in a functional way. I use my sculptural background as a driving force behind my creations to produce unique visually interesting pieces.
Normally working with wood most recently I have been working with resins and fibre glass. I chose to venture more in this direction because it gives me the opportunity to show more sculptural and organic qualities in my pieces. Some pieces have an almost alien feel to them, in a way almost a hybrid of furniture and organic life.
Currently I am working on further developing more sculptural styled pieces, I am continuing to use resins in my creations trying to work towards pushing my ideas further in order to create a collection of work that is not only unique, but has a visual appeal that gives the viewer and user a one of a kind experience.
