At COLLECTIBLE New York, Yuxuan Huang and Jesse Groom present a collaborative exploration of furniture design that intertwines deconstruction, memory, and craftsmanship. Yuxuan’s "Lost Stories" collection reimagines antique furniture by deconstructing it into raw materials, such as scratched wood and glue marks, and reassembling these elements into minimalist forms that preserve the history and stories encapsulated in the original pieces. Jesse’s "Cicatrix" series is an ongoing experiment in mastering the craft of welding, where the process itself—reflected in the weld-covered surfaces—transforms into functional objects. Together, their work at COLLECTIBLE New York highlights a shared commitment to exploring the narratives behind materials and the transformative power of craft, creating pieces that resonate with both history and innovation.
