Drawing parallels between the fabricated reality of genetic modification, AI, and VR with the fantasy realm of mythology and folklore, we considered how both concepts have their roots in a desire to escape or modify our current reality with one more preferable.

Considering what furniture design might look like in other realities, the Witch's Chair was conceived as a relic plucked from a portal or a monstrosity mutated from a potion. Existing outside our current design sensibilities, Its distorted forms verge on the ornamentation of baroque design while simultaneously standing in opposition to the pervading minimalism of modernism.

Forged from an amalgamation of cursed creatures and abyssal magic, the Sanguine Stars of Abaddon, is a unique flail that doubles as a torch. One of the legendary weapons, this flail calls forth the power of Abaddon, Angel of the Abyss, whose destructive judgement is known to bring ruin to the blasphemous.

While its destruction bekons the abyss, may the light of this torch bring new dawn.

Inspired by ancient bas reliefs and petroglyphs, the Star Platinum Cabinet features intricate carvings and textural elements. The sinuous forms of the base feel like a mutated filigree, dancing around an altar for surreal rituals. Adorned with lost wax cast knobs emblazoned with star ruby cabochons, this cabinet playfully accesses ideas of myth and fantasy, as if an artifact plucked from another world.

Part of an ongoing series of Witch’s Chairs, the voluptuous forms and plush upholstery of this chair polymerize mutated forms with a sense of gorgeous monstrosity. The fusion of rabbit and lizard skins adorned with brass hearts coalesce into a sinister rhythm befitting a witch succumbed to chaos.

The bubbly sculpted forms tease influences from pop art to anime, from Barbie to Jojo's Bizarre Adventure.Thinking about the concept of “cuteness” in design, cuteness as an act of resistance or rebellion. Whether in contrast to patriarchal or masculine tropes or a longing to recapture some of our childhood wonder, cuteness is something we are taught to abandon at a certain age. However with connotations of submission and sadistic consumption even cuteness begins to sharpen its blade.

"THIS IS NOT A STRUT – a collaborative exhibition produced in partnership with Blu Dot for NYC Design Week 2025. The show celebrated the 20th anniversary of the iconic Strut table and tasked Dudd Haus members with the creation of new, strut-inspired works. 

From novel extrapolations of the table’s core design principles to boldly idiosyncratic reinterpretations of its name, the works offer a diverse vision of Strut’s lasting impact on the furniture landscape—viewed through the lens of today’s most exciting emerging talent."

Distilling the concept of ‘strut’ to both its structural formality as well as its connection to drag and sashay pageantry, Realm looked towards ancient Etruscan tripod vessels as objects that convey both concepts in tandem. Often used to support cauldrons or braziers and fabricated with bronze struts terminating in cabriole hoofed feet, We sought to reinterpret these classic artifacts into an extraterrestrial table top object that could support anything from a cauldron to an ashtray, lamp, or candle. Considering the communal aspects of gathering around a table or making offerings, we want the ‘Fairies Wear Boots’ trivet to be a centrifuge of ritual, a centerpiece that invites and galvanizes guests like fairies to a flame.

Iron Age warriors in ancient Greece were often buried with a bronze grater, possibly used for cheese or spices, assuming they would likely need such a niche tool in the afterlife. Our Tomb Grater is designed to evoke and honor the effigy and will indeed be an indispensable item on any journey.

Inspired by ancient mirrors, the Portal Mirror is imbued with tarnished aura. Inviting onlookers to the fantastical vision of Realm, this mirror adds a decadent and ritualistic ambiance to any room.
