Sneak peak at the 2006 Bklyn Designs Show.
“Andy Rooney once spent his entire 60 Minutes commentary waxing nostalgic about his solid walnut-flitch desk…While you might not be able to construct a piece with such weighty importance yourself, Eric Manigian Studio builds handmade furniture…that has the stature to create a similarly significant relationship.”
“Bandwidth is sure to see high-frequency use. The table’s texture and visual rhythm derive from a mix of solid zebrawood and spalted maple, the latter salvaged form trees that would otherwise be left to rot or cut down for firewood.”
“Artist Eric Manigian breathes new life to natures fallen giants…His designs have a timeless quality, with an attention to detail that stimulate both visually and cerebrally.”
“This is Eric of Eric Manigian…The beginning of the video is a bit muffled audio-wise but your patience will be rewarded when Eric reveals the wisdom of making furniture out of a tree.”
“Brooklyn Chamber Success Story”
“…Each hand-joined, oil-rubbed piece from his Brooklyn studio is an improvisation that celebrates the unique markings and so-called imperfections of the timbers. The variegated Bandwidth table has a single flitch-cut edge.”
