"I use steel for structure and form with polished concrete for color ,and texture.The combination of these two materials allows me to create architecturally dynamic pieces of furniture with unexpected warmth." Michael McClatchy began making sculpture and working with metal in his teens in Chicago. after attending the Art Institute of San Francisco he went on to make large scale figurative and abstract sculptures. Drawing on his skills as a sculptor Michael started a line of whimsical steel furniture in 1990. In 1995 he started to use concrete for many of the table surfaces. This new element added an unexpcted warmth and richness to the work. colors - mustard, moss, tangerine, chocolate, charcoal, natural grey, lite gray, and linen. Michael currently lives and works at his studio in New York's Hudson valley.
