Ply Tables
Doing lines I’ve been building objects, mainly table tops, by laminating various types of woods for several years now. This has been seen fairly prevalent around the designer furniture market. However, my product quality and durability is superior due to a proprietary finishing process.The tables shown here are all made from a mix recycled plywood, MDF, and hardwoods. I like plywood for its random grain structure, which lends to unique styling for each piece. I have been gladly accepting custom commissions on these tables so clients get exactly the size and shape they desire. Prices range from $275 for [...]

York Lamp
Uncommon function The design that started it all, the York Lamp elevates a home’s interior with its inimitable appearance, pleasing light and uncommon function. Spurned by the sour experience of owning mass-produced torchiere-style lights that typically under-perform before ultimately failing, John Lunceford founded eXoticforms with the creation of the stately, copper York Lamp. With a flexible neck and spigot dimmer adding versatility and invention, hardware (included) for easy wall mounting and clean, warm light ideal for reading, spot lighting and ambiance, the York Lamp rises off the floor and above what’s common and mundane. A wonderful example of creative [...]

I hope this helps. Repair Alesis RA amplifier - All right channel output ceased. I use an Alesis RA-500 to drive Alesis Monitor 1 MKII studio monitors here on my desk. I purchased it second hand and have used it regularly since 2009. Recently all output ceased form the right channel. In retrospect, this issue had been manifesting itself for a year or so. The channel would intermittently not "start" with the amp's power up [...]

CommuniLumin is launched at DAF 2012
CommuniLumin — an invitation to the curious — DUMBO Arts Festival 2012 CommuniLumin was a collaboration between John Lunceford and James Cospito installed at the artist’s lounge for the 2012 DUMBO arts festival. It’s based on John’s Reeds design. Through a modern abstraction of ‘lit reeds’ that rise from 3 to 21 feet, CommuniLumin draws on the primal power of a stand of trees in an open meadow, to coming together around a fire, to communing around light in an otherwise dark environ. Brooklyn represents the power of such collections, of which Dumbo and the Arts Festival are shining examples — [...]
