Peter Handler sees his furniture designs as 'sculptural forms'. He states, "I try to achieve a quality of whimsy and formality at the same time. I believe that it is possible to express humor and elegance, seemingly contradictory attitudes, and resolve the contradiction visually. My chairs and sofas are also designed to feel as good to sit in as they look!" A background in jewelry, an MFA from the School for American Craftsmen at Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT), and the discovery of aluminum as a material for jewelry making led Handler to first create an aluminum table, then expand to the many types of furniture he offers today.
