About Us
Peter Danko is an artist, artisan, designer, and inventor. His work is in museum collections, including MOMA and the Smithsonian Institute. His work has also been the subject of exhibits in college and university galleries. He has been awarded several NEA grants, Best of NeoCon, IDSA awards, and has been awarded many patents, both design and utility. He has been featured in many prestigious books, most recently "Furniture with Soul: Master Woodworkers and Their Craft."
In some fundamental aspect, everything he designs re-thinks how something is made. Each design requires the invention of a technique, a process, or a structure. They often involve recycling and re-purposing materials. He favors materials that he calls OMG materials: that which can be seen by the casual eye to Obviously Manifest Green.
