Pumpkin sink, by Todd Campbell and Jennifer Chenoweth

Fisterra Studio (6)

Charming and creative husband-and-wife team Todd Campbell and Jennifer Chenoweth build a little bit of everything: furniture, upholstery, painting, and metal work. They are experimental, and they mix mediums like crazy. Jennifer is a bright artist, and Todd is an amazing welder. His metal signature of late is a webbing of 3-inch elliptical shapes. He chops a standard square steel bar into thin pieces, power-hammers them into flat donuts, then connects them for use on the backs of couches and chairs – it's employing a common material in a savvy manner. Chenoweth and Campbell practice environmentally sound green-building techniques. Their rug and the bases of some end tables are made from reused wine corks.
