Dylan is getting ready to hop the red-eye to New York City this evening to work the International Contemporary Furniture Fair. He and one of his shop partners, Charlie Sheldon, will have a booth at the conference, which is one of the major (perhaps THE major) event in the contemporary furniture biz. They will display a few of their best pieces in the booth, and they've prepared extensive print material to hand out (and candy, I hope) to the folks who are wandering the aisles looking for new designers and interesting designs to promote and/or produce.
The guys have shipped their stuff by truck. One set of Dylan's twisty shelves will be displayed in a special area sponsored by their local chapter of, uh, some guild I can't remember, the current president of which is Charlie. Should be a very interesting week.
If you are interested, here are a couple of websites that Dylan just uploaded yesterday. The first is the site for Link Studios, which is the cooperative workshop of which Dylan and Charlie are a part.

Click on the furniture to see other related pieces and views. Dylan also designed the logo. The second is Dylan's personal site. http://www.dylangold.com/index.html The homepage features an ambigram of his name. In this case, it reads the same right side up and up side down. More on ambigrams another time. Anyway, both sites are simple, at the moment, but he will be adding to them as time goes by, and probably soon.
So, check them out and see what you think. The "tree" table on both sites is on display at a design showcase in San Francisco this month.
Could be an interesting turning point for the both of them, so stay tuned...
