By Dwell @dwell

"Above Within Beyond" is a bronze outdoor sculpture that was displayed at Friedman Benda's show "Gathering Momentum" in the spring of 2015.

On Friday, October 2, at Dwell on Design New York, Dennis Miller will moderate a discussion with three industry leaders—designers Wendell Castle, Donna Feldman of Dmitriy & Co., and Jiun Ho. Titled "Contemporary Furniture Design: A Dynamic New Era," the session will be held at 2:45 p.m at Skylight Clarkson Sq in New York City.

Wendell Castle has been a sculptor and designer for more than four decades. An influential artist, his work has led to the development of handcrafted, modern designer furniture as a major art form. His bold pieces are crafted from rare and beautiful hardwoods, plastics, veneers, and metals.
