Eastworks Detroit's Joe Mazzola is inspired by American mid-century design and manufacturing. Mazzola collects, repurposes, and re-invents iconic American items into beautiful functional and non-functional art objects. Working out of his home studio and using mainly hand tools, he scales objects into industrial steampunk-inspired pieces. Although some items are similar, most are handmade and one-of-a-kind. Guided by his intuition and aesthetic, the work reflects Mazzola's quest to meld wonder, beauty, and function into three-dimensional art.

David Scherer's pioneering focus and innovative techniques fuse the explosion of textures and colors to ignite the energy evident in every creation. Energetic and complex, his work captures the essence of this modern era and the passion that is art. $113, available at houzz.com/products/query/david-scherer-shop?
