Harmony’s Gate

Harmony’s Gate

Harmony's gate is a music stand whose design is a playful interpretation of a traditional metal gate. The idea was to take traditional forms such as scrolls and make them morph into organic forms such as vines and leaves.

People often look at environmental issues as a question of nature's needs versus man's needs - i.e. bulldoze a piece of land and build up a property or fence off an area and create a nature preserve.

The idea behind this stand was to find a balance in the above dilemma through balancing purely organic forms side by side with more traditional man made forms. Thus, many of the individual pieces begin as metal scrolls and turn into pieces of leaves and visa versa.
