A George Nelson Saucer Pendant hangs over the table. Behind it, a vertical slot window frames a Douglas fir tree while editing out the windows of a nearby town house. “All the openings were composed in direct response to appealing fragments of the site and to avoid relationships that would leave the owners feeling exposed,” Schaer says.

Already established in Europe, Burks has his eyes on the U.S. market. "I'm really making a push in America this year," he says. "It's about being generous—offering the product and making it accessible." He hopes to collaborate with more American manufacturers and retailers, but in a selective way—Burks says he's turned down opportunities to start collections with major retailers because the terms did not feel right with the goals of Man Made. "The artisans are a kind of hand factory—they are the producers. What I bring is some type of creative direction. It's not about keeping this world of basket weavers on a dirt floor. Everyone is entitled to progress and design is a transformative force that can make that happen."
