In today's Fortnight podcast, furniture designer Timothy Aaron Huston talks to Managing Editor Ian Campbell about going from "green" young designer to urban professional. "I didn't know if I was good. I just came to New York," says Timothy, explaining his quick success in the city after intensive study in Denmark. It was in Manhattan that he would meet Michael Lamont, the Irish mentor who would employ him. "He could see that I had a lot of DIY chutzpah. I don't know what the Gaelic translation of chutzpah is," jokes Timothy. Competition and cultural divides exist in the New York design business. Explaining his work's intentionally modest price point, Timothy remarks, "Maybe it's because of our working-class background that we're not quite as staid...Our guys don't have degrees in anything. They come from a family of traditional carpenters." Timothy's previous pieces for Fortnight include A New Sincerity, At The Mill, The Lacey Act and Two Traditions. |
