Artists Janet & Walter Have
been featured in many North East Metal works,Art and Architectural publications,she bridges
the gap between idea and application with expert technique and solid design.
The ''Oracle'' chair proves interaction, curiosity and the quest for knowledge. This
is not a throne or chair of power, it represents all our personal and deeper conflicts that need light and exposure.
This is a solid and strong interactive statement that will provoke lively debate and good humor at the show in December.

for communication,dialogue and truth.
The ''Oracle'' is a most timely concept that is sure to stimulate

“Oracle” chair was featured in the catalogue of the
International Contemporary Furniture Fair at the Jacob

Center in NYC. Their motorcycle inspired line of furniture was shown in the windows of Saks Fifth Avenue. Their
home was on the cover of “Great Adaptations”, a book about unusual renovations around the world. They have been
