Our Dominion Style

Chair Prototype

This is what I’ve been working on for the past week. I designed and built this chair from a sheet of plywood and an army surplus blanket. It’s just a prototype so there were a few kinks and it didn’t turn out exactly how I imagined, but I am still really proud of it. The hope is to possibly get a few of these perfected and into the World. Pipe dreams really.

Now we all know that style is way more than just how we dress, style is about our lifestyle. Furniture is one of the ways we can show off that style; live the life that bespoke suit implies. #menswear is just the starting point to what will, in most cases, evolve into an obsession with every aesthetic part of your life. Really #menswear is just an extension of your confidence and it’s pretty easy to be confident out in the world, but when you’re sitting on your ratty floral print thrifted couch in your Cucinelli you probably don’t feel so confident. So it’s a natural progression to keep evolving and expanding your style. Soon, instead of trying to decide what pocket square you want to wear that day, you’ll be deciding what kind of flooring you want in your new house.

Maybe not all of you are on this #furniture tip with me, but that’s why I called this Our Dominion Style not Our Dominion Menswear. Other than the fact that that sounds truly terrible, it leaves room for expansion and growth. It leaves room to really explore Style. I hope that I can keep you interested if I steer away every so often into something other than #menswear. So here is our first branch into something else. Here’s to growth.
