The antlers forms were hand carved in maple and cast in recycled magnesium aluminum alloy and then hand polished. These were used for the wine cellar display at east.

The wood was hand-carved, sanded and oiled in 2019. Made in Chicago for East Hotel, Hamburg Germany
East Hotel is the reincarnation of the bombed out ruins of an old foundry in Hamburg, Germany as a boutique hotel featuring Asian-fusion menus.
DONUTS
The hotel’s center in an indoor/outdoor public space, a donut hole, created by sculpting brick and concrete out of the muscular foundry structure and excavating 24’ of earth from the yard separating the foundry ruins and the new guest room building…
Every detail of East’s architecture, art and design conveys the spirit of the old foundry and the surreality of a westerner’s first immersion in the east.
If architecture in frozen music (danke Göthe) thn ornament is the melody. It is the underlying concept which transforms structural rhythms, spatial and material harmonics and details into a meaningful personality which can create an emotional connection…the melody of architecture is its soul, the spirit of the place.
