Laurie Beckerman
Born in Brooklyn, Laurie Beckerman graduated from New York University with a bachelor's degree in anthropology. She received a bachelor's degree in architecture from Pratt Institute, and, after graduation, designed low-income housing in Brooklyn and Harlem for the Pratt Architectural Collaborative. She also worked for Steven Holl Architects, and in the architectural setting-out shop at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine. At the Cathedral, she drafted templates that were used by the stone carvers to create stones for the facade of the Jewish Museum. She spent every lunch hour in the stoneyard learning the craft of carving. Her passion and respect for material deepened, and her desire to become a furniture designer began when she carved her first table out of stone.

Ionic Bench - Laurie Beckerman
$5,500
21"h x 49"w x 18"d
Baltic Birch plywood
It's inspired by the capital of an Ionic column. Instead of the look of dense stone, I wanted to extract the lines of the form to create a light, spacious and resilient bench in which a person sits in the middle - framed on either side by two big, luxurious scrolls. Made from 1" thick Baltic Birch plywood, the bench's profile is cut out 18 times with the use of CNC technology. The slices are laminated together for a strong curvaceous form. The surfaces that reveal the plies are finely sanded, and coated with a high-quality Italian acrylic; the result is a seat that is sensuously smooth to the touch. The Ionic Bench is perfect for an entry foyer, or at the foot of a bed, or silhouetted against a picture window. The scrolls can be used for storage, such as for shoes or magazines.
