One such project was realized in Washington, where a piece made in my workshop became an integral part of a carefully composed contemporary interior. When designing this space, Nicholas Potts consciously combined historical and contemporary elements, inviting makers whose work could meet the level of craftsmanship expected in a museum-like setting.
