About this project
PROJECT
We have been offered an opportunity to create an installation and a series of events at Specific Merchandise, a storefront gallery in Los Angeles. We will fill a gallery space with hand-made furniture (a family table, chairs, lighting, even hand-crafted tableware), spread the table with home-cooked fixings, and invite you to come by to join us at the table!!
ARTISTS
Von Tundra is a grassroots American design house and artist collective based in Portland, Oregon. [The group is comprised of Dan Anderson, Chris Held, and Brian Pietrowski]. Our mission is to create well-crafted contemporary furniture, objects, and spaces that express our dedication to longevity and simplicity.
Chef Colleen French is the creator of the Renegade Dinner Club, a social conceptual art piece using food as the medium. Renegade transforms a simple dinner into a full sensory experience that can take place anywhere—the roof of your apartment building, the grassy lot down the street, anywhere that is—except in a restaurant!
SUMMARY
The goal is pleasingly simple: to share our craft and hard work with the community by giving you real access to our quality products. We hope this collaboration between design, art, food, and community will continue to grow—eventually traveling the country (and maybe the world)!
FUNDING
Several dinners and receptions will be held throughout the month of October. Dates will be announced on our website (www.vontundra.com) in September and seats will fill on a first come, first serve basis. Your contributions will go directly toward the making of the furniture and food that will be created especially for this event. You will help launch this community based art+design+food project to more locations throughout the states. Eventually (and hopefully), we will even host an event in your hometown!
Project location: Los Angeles, CA

We'll break you off the two Prairie Chairs + one of our handmade Rockwell Tables (seats 4). No charge for shipping, of course. The table is made from reclaimed pallet wood, just like the one Chef French will be serving dinner on down in L.A. See samples on our website (www.vontundra.com). This package would normally retail for about $3000, but we're looking for an excuse to make you some high-end design goodies.
