Max Lamb makes his furniture in nice ways. When I say “nice,” I don’t necessarily mean by way of hammer and nail (even though hammering and nailing are, by nature, quite nice). What I mean to infer by such word choice is that the young designer’s “zest for nature, outdoor activities, and creativity” are nicely exemplified in his work, and what I mean by that is… how many furniture designers do you know that pour pewter into beach sand and wait for it to turn into a chair? A craftsman in the truest sense of the word, Max uses the world around him to both pull inspiration from and collaborate with, resulting in pieces that are as elementary as they are infinitive. The stool pictured is the resulting piece from Max’s shoreline experiment; more examples of his elemental work are here.
