BEN BURNETT >> ZILLION DESIGN WWW.ZILLIONDESIGN.COM Ben Burnett’s background in sculpture infl u- ences much more than the form his wood furnishings take. Sure, his bold Monolith lamp, an avant-garde pillar of wood cut through with a slice of fl uorescent light, is as much a striking work of art as a functional piece. But the fact that it’s made from reclaimed fi r and aluminum speaks to his years as a visual artist, too: “I had no money and I was always scrounging materials. So it was more economic,” he explains. Salvaged wood also fi nds its way into his other expressive pieces, whether it’s the fi r on a Pendant Turbine lamp or the reclaimed ebony that mixes with African mahogany and Brazilian cherry on his streamlined, multifunctional Slide table (shown here). Still, for Burnett (whose prices range from as low as $50 for wallmounted coat racks to $6,000 for a high-impact dining table), it’s his sculptural spin on tables, cabinets, lamps, and shelving that makes his work unique and so unexpected. He’s inspired by the modernist style, a few years spent in Japan, and the fact that he shares his studio space with veteran woodworker Peter Pierobon. “But in my work, function usually follows form,” he says. - | FALL 2008 | | GEORGIA STRAIGHT LIVING | 16
