Taylor Forrest is known as a maker of modern steel and leather sling-back chairs. With a keen eye for aesthetics but a strong desire for finite projects with clear start and end points, Taylor combined her artist’s eye and her knack for mathematics and moved into furniture design. A love for horseback riding made Taylor curious about saddle leather and other ways to use it, and an iconic line of furniture was born. Join us as we talk about:

• School and the influence of negativity
• Bringing ideas from 2D to 3D and the value of working with your hands
• How examining horseback riding tack led to her current furniture designs
• The influence of environment on creativity and work
