Ask First

30 days at Rikers and a mental evaluation for not asking before installing public art in a New York City tree, crazy. I discovered the furniture maker Takeshi Miyakawa through this article about his trouble with the police following his first foray into public art. Legal troubles aside his furniture is really incredible. I love the coffee table he designed to aid victims of the Japanese earthquake. He is giving 90% of the proceeds away which is so generous considering he makes each piece by hand.
