Holey Chair by Takeshi Miyakawa “TMHoleyChair” $800.00 for one "This piece was designed and constructed by Brooklyn-based design-guru Takeshi Miyakawa. Takeshi, along with architect Vram Malek, built the Subports’ car-top store for our feature in Dwell Magazine. We often refer to Takeshi as Yoda. He never stresses out, and we have yet to see him measure anything which is mind blowing because everything he makes is absolute perfection. The 'holey chair' is an LED-powered light fixture, constructed from white acrylic realized in the shape of a chair frame. It can be placed on the floor or installed on the wall as the owner sees fit."

"We really love to cook and much of our home life revolves around our kitchen. When we have friends over it’s great to buzz around here; it’s almost like a cooking show. We’re a very equal couple. We wanted the kitchen island to be a single form that we could both use. We can both cook and we can both wash the dishes. The whole thing is really easy to clean as it’s just one main surface that you can wipe down. So the preparation surfaces, the hob [cooktop], and the sink are accessible from both sides. It’s a simple, fun, form-follows-function principle: Store, wash, prepare, cook, eat."

A pizza oven and built-in storage spaces line a hallway, saving space. "6,000-square-foot houses for single families don't make sense ecologically—or in my opinion, functionally," says Hirsh. "The house is a nice size for our life—plenty large, but not unwieldy." Photo by Ron Johnson.
