Surface Says
We love spotting Uhuru furniture at various restaurants and watering holes around New York. The studio's expression of form and material always catches our eye.

FOLD LINE

Our new Fold Line is inspired by the forms created by objects flattened in our neighborhood streets, in particular the metal straps used to attach goods to pallets and boxes here in industrial Red Hook. We sought to mimic the patina that naturally evolves on the surface of a material as it weathers and is exposed to the elements.
