Jordan Mozer Furniture Designs at Casati Gallery

This past Saturday, Chicago designer Jordan Mozer, whose local work includes everything from Vivere to Cheesecake Factory to Wow Bow in Water Tower Place, opened an exhibition of recent hand-sculpted cast furniture at the Casati Gallery at 949 West Fulton.

Mozer describes the work as follows:

"Last year we transformed a mossy and crumbling old iron foundry in Hamburg, Germany into a boutique hotel called East.

The design was inspired by the ghosts of the old iron foundry and an appreciation for the Eastern recognition of a spiritual essence in nature, and also by an urge to create a dreamlike and idiosyncratic personality with both the space and objects within. As always, we created project-specific furnishings from scratch."
