Mark Del Guidice’s work lives on the continuum of art and craft - he creates furniture that is just as much sculpture as it is a useful table or cabinet. He has explored many different forms, woods and colorful surface treatments over the years. His most recent series relies on the natural wood for their beauty. His style often includes incised markings reminiscent of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics, and even Morse code messages become an artistic statement for Del Guidice. “I want people to experience furniture from an entirely new perspective and to interpret the piece in their own personal way,” he says. Transforming his ideas from concept to complete piece is a complex process, requiring sketching, writing, drawing, model making and mock-ups before he actually begins work.
