Evan and Sandra Lewis opened their furniture showroom on the North side of Chicago in 2005 because they wanted to properly showcase high-end, luxurious items.

Lewis’s work from the beginning of his career as a furniture creator has garnered attention of high-profile taste makers like late interior designer Richard Himmel and Holly Hunt who represented Evan Lewis in their namesake showrooms at Merchandise Mart.

All this experience and exposure has solidified the Lewis’s’ interest in having full control over not only how their work is made but also its presentation to an audience. They opened up a stunning showcase for original, hand-made functional art with the option of visiting an adjacent studio where all objects are painstakingly crafted by hand.

Design Ethos

“The sculptures I make are kinetic and powered by wind. Because the power source is unpredictable natural phenomenon the resulting action of the pieces is random. This is what gives these works their greatest quality: dynamic motion that changes all the time and follows no set pattern.

My work as a furniture designer and builder of kinetic sculpture provides vast experience in adapting classical motifs to contemporary design and the practical knowledge of enduring exterior kinetic systems. Depending on the parameters of the site, a kinetic wind sculpture can be designed to reflect and enhance architectural motifs, historical reference and specific wind conditions. The resulting compositions are dynamic with ever changing shape, life-like with fluid and graceful motion and create a contemplative and serene experience for the viewer.” – Evan Lewis
