Here we go again! Up next is Kevin Busta, owner of Kevin Busta Industrial Furnishing based in Cleveland, Ohio. Busta, a former boilermaker, has been working full time as a metalwork artist for more than a decade. He has been featured multiple times in the New York Times for his chair designs and acrylic silkscreen prints on vintage blueprints. His industrial furnishings and art can be found in various buildings and homes in cities throughout the U.S. Busta has created a sleek metal stool that he is calling the “Gusset Chair” for the Design Center.

We can’t wait for you to see these amazing stools at our Grand Opening on Friday, May 31st 3-8pm and Saturday, June 1st 11am-3pm. See you soon!
