Biography from RustBeltRebirthfurniture.com: Welcome to Rustbelt Rebirth. I?m Doug Meyer; chief designer and builder of all you see here. The short version of my story goes like this: unable to afford art school I enrolled in the Job Corps welding program, graduating with a Combination Welder certification in ?98. Eleven years later I formed Rustbelt Rebirth as a company to produce limited-run steel furniture works. The rest, as they say, is history. My works are mostly made from reclaimed sheet metal and tubular steel. Hand-pulled bends are cut and formed into the frameworks. What I buy as institutional desks, shelving, and cabinets at auctions and salvage supply stores is then cut up for it?s useful sheet metals. I?ve pioneered a technique I call Segmenting during the building process, which makes use of all of the cut-off pieces elsewhere in the build, resulting in a patchwork effect on the sheet and something like bamboo on the tubular frame. This process allows me to use 99% of my materials, but also visually reflects the holistic thinking of the entire process of reclamation. Minor pings, dings, scratches, hole patterns, and rust all tell the story of a previous life, as I leave the color of the material as I find it, often preferring the material ?ugly side up?. Finally, the product is clear-coated, waxed for additional protection, and ready to ship to you. 38 1/2"H x 63 3/4"W x 22"D, 22 1/2"H (seat to floor)
