WHO: Sólido, the Phoenix-based custom furniture manufacturer helmed by Estevan Medina and Jorge Flores.

WHAT: A series of bold images where shadow and light wash over each piece of furniture to underscore the fluidity of its design. Photographs that capture craftsmen immersed in coaxing functional pieces out of concrete, metal, upholstery and stone. A collection of moments where artistry merges with artisanry.

WHY: If you’ve ever wondered how furniture gets made, how many finishes are available for a piece of wood, or what the process is from ideation to a custom plush ottoman. If you appreciate community over competition. If you dream of a chair, table or console that is no less than perfection—as you define it.

IN THEIR WORDS: “Don’t take constructive criticism personally if you’re passionate about your work. Use it as a way to improve. If you are going to compete, compete with yourself.”
