A SHORT INTERVIEW WITH DREW SESKUNAS


I AM...
I am Drew Sekunas.

I DO...
I am an architect and designer of objects and public sculptures and aBteacher.

IMAGINATION TO ME IS...
Is that one absolutely unique thing we all have to give the world, and what makes our shared experience of reality so wonderful.

MY FAVOURITE OBJECT IS...
a wooden boat that my son and I are currently building for our cat (1/2 way done!).

MY FAVOURITE COLOUR IS...
Blue/green.





MY FAVOURITE 3 IG PROFILES
@duddhaus furniture gallery/collective in Philadelphia that highlights studios that use design as an expressive medium and has also become like a cultural community center in the city. They host events like zine releases, a book club dedicated to Italian Modernism and more traditional design shows - they hosted a solo show of my work in December and have a new show opening tonight of work by James Bouchet opening tonight. 
@landalexandra Alexandra Lange has been one of my favorite writers on design and public space for a long time, she has a self-effacing yet hyper intelligent way of unpacking what public spaces like playgrounds, skateparks or shopping malls mean to us. 
@nomianyc is my wife's fashion brand and store, she is the most inspiring person, my greatest collaborator and biggest supporter of my work and I am her biggest fan :) 

See portrait attached, this is in my workshop with a portrait of a cat by my mother and a photo-collage of mountains by my father.
