The Adding Machine....

The set in process....

This week we are finishing up some fabrication for Speakeasy Stage Co.'s production of Adding Machine: A Musical. Directed by Paul Melone, and designed by Susan Zeeman Rogers.
Looking back over the past four years, we have built well over a dozen productions at Boston's acclaimed Speakeasy. Below is a sampling of some of these. Take a look:
(And thankyou Speakeasy for all your business!!!!!)

Custom Design

Welcome to obelisk's blog.
obelisk is an innovative, family-owned, design group offering fine concrete decor and more. Winding your way down a peninsula along the Kennebec River, you may just stumble across a modest grey farmhouse and accompanying shaker barn. This 1850’s pairing makes the home and workshop of Master Concrete Artisan Thomas Stuart.

Similarly, make your way over Mt. Tom in Western, Massachusetts, and find, nestled at its foot, a century old, humble bakery. This is now home and studio to Designer and Concrete Artisan, Andrew Stuart.

Together these two brothers make up Obelisk: fine concrete décor. “Our homes are monuments to ourselves and say a great deal about our values and priorities.” Hence, the name of this minute collaborative: obelisk. “Drama.” “Artistry.” “Craftsmanship.” These are all expressions conjured up by the creations of this duo. Obelisk transcends ordinary notions of concrete to create works of art that celebrate the home and feed the soul. Evoking an Old World beauty coupled with the sophistication of contemporary design, Obelisk’s designs are in both part simple and complex.

Each piece is handled individually from creating the forms, mixing the batch, to the fine finishing touches of a gentle sanding, polishing and buffing. Thomas and Andrew carefully consider each object as if it were to grace their own surroundings. To this end, the urban and the rural, the lakefront home to the industrial loft, are spaces that become a bit more distinguished with a piece of Obelisk fine concrete.

W e are inspired by anything steeped with history, age or patina; objects and design that evoke an 'essence,' The Machine Age, old New England Mills, vintage industrial, nature, old French guesthouses, the Maine coast, The Pacific Northwest, modern design and simple functional art.
