"A partial view into the shop. Work moves between the computers and machines freely," says Ribic. -
Some of the parts are machined on the CNC’s while others, like this, are machined on the manual lathe and mill. -
"My favorite piece is the Twiggy lamp," says Ribic. "We just added a touch dimmer to allow for bedside use. -
The Soft Tools felt lamps are all hand-pressed from naturally dyed wool. The shapes are derived from the cutting tools used in the shop. -
"Our first design, the Aerialist tables. Here you can see the simple rotating functionality which reveals the upholstered cushion." -
"We source our wood from a local mill that uses salvaged trees from the Cleveland area," says Ribic. -
"My father, John Ribic Sr., cuts the slots for the legs of the stool." -
There are two stool heights available, both featuring a different cross bar variation. This is the 20” version. -
"This is the 25” version, which is being used by a friend who is a glass artisan and will be working with us on a new project," says Ribic. -
Ribic sets the scene for a photo shoot for Cleveland’s Plain Dealer newspaper. Also featured in the shot is Objeti's LED Hangman lamp.

Soft Tools Pendants
Using the tools in their furniture workshop to create something a little softer than stools and low tables, the Ribic boys behind Objeti—brothers Joseph and John Jr., along with their father John Sr.—have created this collection of hand-pressed felt pendants. Each of the three shapes is named after a different type of device: Chamfer, Radius, and Ball. The company, which just recently launched, won an Editors' Choice award at ICFF this year.
