This piece is extra special to me. It is my very first ever design for the Studio Roeper collection, which I originally created for my senior thesis at art school in 2003. I am pleased to present THE BRIDGE Console.

It all began when my mentor set me on a path to think beyond “furniture” and to create pieces that tell a story- a personal story perhaps. THE BRIDGE is an attempt to connect and reconcile my European roots with my newly adopted American life. As a first generation immigrant, there is much resistance, and there is much emotion when faced with the idea of letting go of my heritage. But this is not just my story. This is the story of so many dreamers who leave their home behind to seek more fertile ground.
