Lubernaut Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Hello everyone, Just finished up a table for a client in NYC. I agonized over a lot of the design elements and in doing so generated several unused parts that will work great for my next project: a display stuff for a clients gallery/show booth. Good thing, all the work has to be done by mid February in order to ship to Europe for a show he's doing in March! Happy New Year fellow smiths!

Frosty Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 That's pretty spectacular John. A little creepy but spectacular none the less. Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bentiron1946 Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 I haven't seen work like that in years. Well at least since Albert Paley shifted gears and quit making jewelry. That is some mighty fine work. Show us some more of what you got.:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lubernaut Posted January 6, 2009 Author Share Posted January 6, 2009 Wow, thanks Bentiron! That's a huge compliment. I posted a few other things a while back here:http://www.iforgeiron.com/forum/f63/some-my-stuff-8880/ Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tzonoqua Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Very nice, very precise, very masculine, almost Gieger-esque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pault17 Posted January 7, 2009 Share Posted January 7, 2009 tzonoqua, you nailed it on the head - Geiger-esque something you world see in an Aliens movie. Very cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlson Posted January 9, 2009 Share Posted January 9, 2009 Being in NYC I imagine you could make appointments with childproofing consultants and have some fun with that table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubernaut Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 HR Giger, (pronounced Geeger) Swiss surrealist and creator of the Alien creature from the movie series. He's definitely a huge influence, though I think a lot of the similarities in our work come from our mutual love/obsession with all things Art Nouveau.

Lubernaut Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sure! Be sure to check out his stuff! It's pretty creepy by most people's standards but his sense of line is truly awe-inspiring. He actually started his artistic career doing architectural design, including iron railings and such.

happycat Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 Beautiful stuff! I am truly inspired. One of the things I like about Giger's work (and yours) is the detail and the incredible amount of interesting things to see. I'm struggling with language here, but what I mean is that you could look at your work a hundred times and still be finding new things to appreciate. I love that, and marvel at the incredible amount of time, thought, and work that must have gone into these. Thanks for sharing them!

Valentin Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Beautifull work! Can i ask how much time did you spent on making the table and what`s the price for this unique work?

Avadon Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 HOLY MACROLE! I had to do a double take because I thought your pics were just renderings, and not actual work! Amazing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisB Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Your vision is amazing. Do you know the result before you start or is it a "progress" kind of thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
