John Beck: American Attitude

I came across John Beck’s furniture line at the recent ICFF show, and was impressed by his individualistic style and amazing use of steel. Each piece exudes a straightforward, masculine swagger, a little bit rock-and-roll, along with a touch of humor. Take the Beatty Light, which starts with a sheet of steel, then is blasted with a shotgun—and ends up looking pretty amazing. I adore his series of limited edition tables, with weathered graphics, as seen in Table 2, which can be custom ordered. Thanks to Brian Cummings of RGG Photo for supplying the photos. At the show (top photos), I admired the steel sliding door, and AntiTrunk tables, with numbers or graphics, which can double as stools. You can see, and purchase, more pieces at Bobby Berk Home website.
