In loose change, you
see a couch. In pieces of show leather, a chair. In jars, a chandelier.
These are all visions turned into reality by Johnny Swing. and his
Obsessive Furniture line. Taking common, everyday materials
and re-purposing them, Johnny Swing has created practical art that
is as stunning to view as it is stimulating to use.
His nickel couch,
made of over 6400 welded nickels, is a magnificient piece of work
that is contoured for the body. His Jardelier,
a chandelier made of glass jars, evokes a feeling of early 20th
century invention with its illumination. These are but two example
of an exceptional furniture line. The difference is in the art.
Each is a unique example of beautiful and functional sculpture.
