David Gates / Cabinets & Clocks Designer

"I grew up in Akron, Ohio where my father was a carpenter and cabinet maker. His workshop was in our basement...so I have been around wood all my life. I have a BFA from the Cleveland Institute of Art in Advertising & Graphic Design. I have worked as an advertising agency art director and graphic designer for over 40 years. I suppose I am merging my graphic designer with my woodworker. I have exhibited at the Society for Contemporary Crafts satellite gallery in One Mellon Center and G Squared Gallery in Ligonier, PA. My work is currently available at the Eclectic Collector Gallery in Katonah, New York. These are functional and useful pieces, but their primary function is to give delight to their owner. The pieces contain their little surprises...in their shape and form... their color and their surface patterns...their unexpected drawers and doors. I want each of my pieces to exude a specialness...they must be interesting to have around...interesting and imaginative company...a different and unusual touch here and there...a little “ah ha!” or delight that we did not expect. I use various woods to construct a unique body shape and then paint various parts to give it a new skin...I use the rhythms of patterns and colors to give the piece a totally new personality."
