The Old Salt House by @aashwarr
Very chic and is the kind of coffee house you see in LA. This wouldn't be out of place in Brooklyn. But all I know is the coffee sold here is way better than Starbucks, but a couple of dollars more expensive. Chic! Well done!

Crumplebottom's Interiors Interviews: Etienne Toussaint
Today I had the honor to meet and interview Etienne Toussaint, the reclusive designer and maker of the Etienne Bench and Etienne’s Love…seat. While he maybe an introvert in the very public sphere of design, I wanted to hear about his inspiration behind his work and why he wants design to be affordable. We met at the Windenburg establishment, South Square Coffee, where he spends most of his free time after working in his Windenburg studio. The interview has been lightly edited for clarity and conciseness.
Francis DeWolf: So hello, Etienne. It is finally nice to meet you in person. Can you tell me a little about your background and training?
Etienne Toussaint: Thank you for reaching out. My background is in traditional studio painting. I attended the University of Britechester as a studio art major and focused on sculpture. Brad Connelly was still teaching there and actively saw that I had more of a talent for furniture and practical pieces after seeing my work in my junior year. He helped focus me to get a job with Martell as a junior designer in their plastics lab.
FDW: Why plastics?
ET: I was still very much working with plastics coming out of university, so it wasn’t until I realized that plastics were very much more impactful on the environment than wood, fabric, and metal materials. Of course, the production of all furniture is hard on the environment, and I thought that moving away from plastics was one way to do so. Of course, now that I mostly work with fabric and wood, that plastics-based fabrics are still a thing and still cheaper than using, say, cotton or wool.
FDW: Yes, I know that with the emergence with softer polyesters, it is cheaper to use those materials. As we have seen, you have made it a priority to make your work affordable to more people, but you still work with cotton velvets and other natural fibers, tell me, why cost is so important to you?
ET: I was thinking of my own childhood and how it was hard for my parents to afford to buy new and buy a quality piece of furniture. They often replaced pieces from thrift shops when the furniture would break. I went to Britechester on a full-ride scholarship and felt that I wanted to give my parents the chance to own new furniture, that wasn’t just the standard old-fashion stuff.
FDW: So is that where the emphasis on new and experimental forms you are known for came from?
ET: Yes, I feel like everyone should have a quality piece of furniture that they can use at a good price. Obviously, not everyone has the experimental taste that I have. But honestly, I do want folks that like high-end design to get their hands on it.
FDW: I want to shift gears a little and ask why the seemingly reclusive life and unwillingness to really be in, maybe not the public eye, but at least feel more private and pseudonymous when you have these goals of affordability?
ET: I want the work to stand on its own rather, than standing the design and “glory” when it upstages the furniture. Too many designers seem to be more about attaching their name to pieces then pieces standing the test of visibility in the home.
FDW: So, is that why you live here in Windenburg versus say San Myshuno?
ET: I just prefer the quietness of Windenburg and lower cost to have a big studio to work in. I am still very much working as an artist. Having the Casbah Gallery representing my work, is how I got involved with their affordable design initiatives.
FDW: Are you still doing sculpture?
ET: Yes, I am very much a maker of things, then say a painting or other 2D art. Making things with my hands is just very calming and takes me back when my dad would often build things for my mom. He came from a long line of craftsmen and today I honor that tradition.
FDW: One last question, what’s next?
ET: I have some new metal works coming in the next couple of months or so, so be sure to be on the lookout for those. I decided to move to metal for this project, as I got some shipping container scrap metal that builds out my work. ¥
