I was browsing around the site reflecting on how far we’ve come and couldn’t help but notice the wealth of inspiration and content we’ve got in the SpearTalks archives.

David Larabee and Dexter Thornton are DoubleButter. You may remember them from a post we wrote not too long ago, in which two men bombed Denver's newest art museums with a little bit of well constructed furniture graffiti. While that antic certainly grabbed our attention, it was the rest of the pair's modern and beautiful craftsmanship that held it. Their designs made us so weak at the knees that – had those two graffiti benches not been promptly removed, and were we standing in front of either the new DAM or MCA – we would probably have needed their services to regain equilibrium. Read on to see why we think DoubleButter has all the street cred they need make it big in the wide world of furniture.

JoshSpear.com: DoubleButter is fairly new on the furniture scene, yet your pieces look like the work of experienced furniture designers. What are your personal backgrounds?

DoubleButter: We’ve both been designing and building pieces professionally for a few years now. We only started working together a little over a year ago and now we make out almost every day. READ MORE…

Denver furniture duo David Larabee and Dexter Thornton have been doing a little self-promotion around the mile-high city in preparation for their upcoming show at the 400. It’s kind of like graffiti, but instead of getting up with spraypaint you sort of get down with… seating. Using a fairly solid-looking powertool, David and Dexter (i.e., DoubleButter and Milkweed) have been prancing around Denver’s newest art museums, throwing benches (of their own designs, I presume) into cemented areas primed for a seated pause. You can check out the video of the boys in action here, and browse their beautiful and modern full line here. And, if you happen to be in the area this Friday, head to Denver’s best shoe gallery to check out their first foray into upholstered (read: hairy) furniture.
