Frank Cresencia Design Profile

Furniture designer Frank Cresencia’s work is characterized by it’s unique take on minimalism; elegant structures executed in ways that utilize their simplicity in the most intriguing fashions. Two of his works pictured below, ‘Tension Bowl,’ and ‘Levels Table’ champion this aesthetic. Although both these pieces each work with one type of material to generate the whole of their structure, it is manipulated in a manner that draws out its potential for intricacy and complexity. With ‘Levels Table’ one sees the deconstruction of the traditional solid surface, reworked in a vision of positive and negative space; just as with ‘Tension Bowl’ the expertly sculpted walnut pieces seamlessly combine to generate a functional structure where before their was none. Both these works, along with his many others, outline Frank’s capabilities for truly interesting and thought-provoking minimalist design.
