Geology is a collection of furniture created for The Future Perfect to show novel techniques to use stone. Stone is often reduced to a two dimensional graphic when used in furniture, each design in Geology was made to break from that convention. The tables are designed to show the volume of each stone, whether they are halved small rocks or 4 inch thick slabs cut from a boulder. On the other end of the spectrum, [Stone Rose] lights have petals made from 6mm thick translucent quartz, showing how light and airy the material can be.

Smoky Mountain
Smoky Mountain incense holders are carved from Colorado alabaster. A grid of holes is drilled at a set depth, they function as vent holes when the piece is complete but also function as registration marks for carving out the cavity. They were designed to bring in a secondary element of fire to the stone story.
Fountain
Left at an experimental stage, these fountains were meant to bring in another elemental component to the stone story.
