Debra Folz
Originally from Long Island New York, Debra draws inspiration from the materials, natural systems, and livelihoods of coastal communities as well as early childhood activities of embroidery and handcrafts. Now a Boston based artist & designer, these and other points of inspiration can be found in within the furniture and table top accessories she designs and manufacture.
A background in commercial interior design, paired with a more hands on and introspective studio furniture practice has led Debra to a place in-between art, design, and craft. Her work begins with observing the connections and disconnections of form and function within the world as she encounter it. She sees no boundaries between disciplines and their assigned material identities and am most excited by unexpected material behavior or the unconventional interpretation of everyday objects.

An exploration of wax as material for usable furniture is alluringboth for it’s ability to be cast but also it’s ability to be meltedback down to liquid form at any point in it’s life cycle and recastinto something else. The material used is an industrial wax with ahigher melting point (240 degrees) and surface durability than waxesused for candles etc. The tabletop surface indicates the fusion ofpouring the liquid wax over a bed of wax still in bead form. There areno additional internal supports and has been tested to hold 150 lbs. Currently in the showroom.
