PNW Workers: Force/Collide

Located in Seattle WA, Force/Collide is driven by owner Chelsea Gaddy's distinct style that blends geometry, minimalism, and the raw characteristics of metals into high-end furniture and architecture. "The creative process behind fabrication is the most meaningful part of my work - it's what forms the personality of the piece. And metal is my favorite material to work with because it requires a combination of brute force and extreme finesse to be persuaded."
