When my friend John and I were in Tucson last month for the opening of the High Fiber show at Conrad Wilde, we noticed an amazing leather and steel chair in the window of an adjacent shop. Although the store is not quite open, we were able to get a better look at the chair and learn about its creator, architect Cade Hayes.

In turn, Cade introduced us to the work of his San-Diego based friend, Dominique Houriet. Shortly thereafter, Dominique sent me photos of his chairs.

I feel very fortunate to have been introduced to these men and their work and look forward to seeing more and learning more about Cade’s former employer, Rick Joy architects. Stay tuned; more about them to come!
P.S. You’ll be able to purchase their chairs at San Diego’s Museum of Contemporary Art soon. For more about Dominique, visit http://www.oo-d-a.com/
