The Mission
BIND is shifting its focus from NYC-based construction projects to nationwide interior services, namely a new online furniture line. BIND has observed monumental changes in the way we think about our lives at home and at work this past year. We are excited to play a new role in shaping your life indoors and in the backyard.
Set to launch in 2021, BIND will offer guaranteed high-grade handmade products made with natural, non-toxic materials. Our goal is to establish a one-stop shop for you to furnish your entire home with an eclectic line of mixed-media bedroom, living, and dining pieces, not to mention interior ornaments and exterior furniture.
Why BIND furnishings?
BIND furniture philosophy will be rooted in our experience renovating for a diverse clientele in New York. They all had one major obstacle—quality furniture costs are inflated.
Quality local craftsmanship is becoming a rare commodity. Local makers must compete with fashionable brands offering great low-priced products worldwide. But these products are made in sweat-shops with particle board, plastics, and harmful chemicals. Despite some notable engineering, these items our clients are buying are short-term solutions: their construction is flimsy, the surfaces easily damage and are difficult to maintain, and there is no story.
As BIND and J RASA approach the drawing board we are dedicated to the following tenets:
Local fabrication with domestic hardwoods, stone, and metals
Products to be handed down for generations
Innovative solutions to streamline your home organization
Eclectic style, timeless design
Non-toxic finishes
All at the right price
Case Studies
The BIND bed prototype
-in solid poplar, and poplar plywood construction featuring inset marble headboard and cabinet
-case study in streamlining bedroom storage
-mixed media to inspire and stimulate our senses

Next development
-integrate marble-faced drawers into side section
Final phase
-construct from a variety of species for multiple options
Next development

Final phase

The BIND magnet rack prototype (base)
-solid wood construction
-very strong neodynium magnets
-2" wide x 16" long
-can be used for kitchen, bathroom, home entrance pocket dump, tools, and more
The BIND Bookshelf Prototype
the quest for the right bookshelf
for the right price
Our prompts:
#1 made with knotty pine dimensional lumber, unfinished
#2 few cuts and quick assembly
#3 solid construction
#4 adjustable shelves
#5 no waste
Next and final phase
-instead of "skinning" the back with the luaun plywood, we will rabbet the back edges of the frame so it can be inset
-fabricate a flushtop option so multiple units can be combined with bolt hardware and capped with a single long top across the set
The BIND spicerack prototype
Ultimate chef's spice rack
Prompt:
-most spice racks are either boring or ugly, too small or too inconvenient, and likely made by people who don't know how to cook
-use material currently in the shop
-get my personal collection out of the cardboard box on the floor and onto the wall
-everything accessible/not over-sized
Solution:
-two sizable shelves for oils, vinegars, honey, and larger containers (I need big cumin, big pepper, big turmeric, big red pepper flakes)
-two double-tiered shelves for standard sized bottles
-top shelves feature small guard to increase stability
This rack fits all container sizes
-we set up all our containers on a table, like a plot-style graph to gather enough data to average out shelving heights and depths
-just see for yourself
Material
-this unit features mixed species of pallet wood including walnut, red oak, white oak, fir, and pine
-the only way to finish this is...unfinished--rough textured, a little glue stain, some exposed brad nail heads and all
Next phase
-we want to build this with milled dimensional lumber
-it was not easy to work with the pallet wood as much of it was different thicknesses
Final phase
-build jigs to produce this in large quantities, quickly, and in different sizes
