Reclaim Collection (2022)

The Reclaim Collection is inspired by the fascinating yet forgotten history of the iconic Peacock chair. Artist Cheyenne Concepcion created an organic, textural four-piece collection that weaves together a compelling narrative about form, heritage and materiality from the Filipino diaspora. Rooted in history but designed to fit our contemporary world, the Reclaim collection includes a lounge chair, nesting stools, totemic sculptures and a mirror. Ultimately, Reclaim is an earthy, elegant, highly personal testament for the future of Filipino-American design.

Reverie Basket Series

Sculpting baskets can be quite controlled and mathematical and personally, I can be too. I’ve found that weaving these vessels allows me to both lean into my needs to control but also to practice letting go. The practice of feeding both of these parts of myself through weaving baskets feels like a daydream.

Basswood, Reed, Cane, Ink, Found Nylon Rope
28” H x 26.5”W x 24”D

RÊVERIE BASKET No. 3
Basswood, Reed, Cane, Dye
20”H x 22” W x 8” D
$4250

RÊVERIE is a woven vessel series that captures my recent explorations with basketry. With these sculptures I laboriously hand shape wooden bases to anchor the functional woven vessels made of dyed reed and rattan. The loose, playfulness, raw nature of these sculptures suggest an act of release, of letting go of control, a practice basket making work is helping me to learn.

Jalisco Triptych (2021)
Dried Grasses, Masonry Rope, Painted Board��
12” x 12” x 2” (each of 3)
$2,400/set or $800/single

Jalisco is a triptych of 12” x 12” weavings inspired by thatched roofs I recently encountered around coastal Jalisco – buildings in the region seemed to link bright building colors to the dried palm material. Similarly, I have childhood memories of encountering similar roof structures called “Nipa Roofs” in my homeland of the Philippines. I am likely captured by thatched roofs because of my background in urban planning and architecture. In a field that often prioritizes euro-centric forms and construction techniques, thatched roofs have maintained their presence because of their simplicity, sustainability and most notably, their style. The Jalisco series adopts the materiality of this indigenous building technique as it is constructed of dried grasses and multi-colored masonry rope. Organized as a triptych the two-toned composition creates an abstraction of interconnectedness.
