“Donald Kaufman makes his own paint. White being my favorite, I’m really difficult with color, but I always come to terms with him very quickly. He comes up with solutions, and I always think how I wouldn’t have been able to do that.”

“F Product did the gel pads for our stools at Macondo. The gel seats which we had them produce can be used as a top of a bar stool or an ottoman. We have worked with them on several occasions and they have the most interesting materials.”

“David Higginbotham just keeps blowing our minds. We try not to tell him what we want and just try to get him to give us his ideas. At Thompson LES hotel we put a photo lithograph of stills from a Warhol Factory film by Gerard Malanga onto the tile at the bottom of the pool, and David even made sure the grout between the tiles matched to the image precisely.”
Ed Rawlings
“The East Harlem School site was fairly mushy and just in terms of staging everything and working with the concrete guy, the digger, Euro Excavation, really saved the day. We had a lot of dewatering to do and they pumped the water to the other side of the site and let it percolate down, which means we didn’t have to have a dewatering sub. That probably saved the project $35,000.”
Marc Gee
“Some of the more striking elements in JWT are the tent elements, and the people we worked with on them really deserve credit—J. Miller Canvas. Jim Miller is a guy who is endlessly entertained by a challenge. We touch base early on in the process and outline our ideas for the project, and in tandem we come up with a solution. We’re really enthusiastic about him.”

“The one person I would love to get listed as one of the best in New York is a specialty fabricator named Chris Larkin, who has a shop called Synchro in Williamsburg. In my rolodex, under job title, I have him listed as “bad ass,” and that’s about the best description of him. He has a metal machine shop as well as a wood shop, but what he really has is an ability to pretty much build anything with an unquenchable thirst for solving the unsolvable. I tell you, the man works miracles, I even saw him turn water into wine once. No joke, it was delicious.”
Adam Farmerie
“Site Construction produced solid results at Volcom. They didn’t compromise quality when speed and tight deadlines were a factor. Their experience was evident when value engineering and change orders were necessary, as they found ways to keep the project within budget while preserving design integrity vital to the success of the project.”
