Turtle/Turtle is a sculptural children's stool and decorative interior object. After the birth of their daughter, Cory and his wife had a hard time finding objects that were well designed, eco friendly and looked great in their modern home. They did love their daughter's Eames Elephant, originally designed in the 1940's, so Cory decided to create a companion with a similar spirit and functionality. Material usage was reduced to a bare minimum which gives the piece a simple, graphic aesthetic and makes it light, easy for kids to handle and more efficient to transport. Each piece is hand made by local craftsman in downtown Los Angeles of powder coated steel wire and saddle leather. It is highly durable and will patina nicely over time. Originally created as a one-off prototype for Faces in the Wild, an auction benefitting The World Wildlife Fund, a designer-made edition of Turtle/Turtle was successfully funded on Kickstarter and is now available at shopcorygrosser.com. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/elle_turtle_640.jpg" width="640" height="960" width_o="640" height_o="960" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/elle_turtle_640_o.jpg" data-mid="11693080" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/turtle_elephant_640.jpg" width="640" height="640" width_o="640" height_o="640" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/turtle_elephant_640_o.jpg" data-mid="11693086" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/saddle_detail_640.jpg" width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/saddle_detail_640_o.jpg" data-mid="11693081" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/saddle_detail_pink_640.jpg" width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/saddle_detail_pink_640_o.jpg" data-mid="11693082" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/turtle_34_corrected_640.jpg" width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/turtle_34_corrected_640_o.jpg" data-mid="11693085" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/limited_white_white_640_15.jpg" width="640" height="427" width_o="640" height_o="427" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/2111574/limited_white_white_640_15_o.jpg" data-mid="11694644" border="0" align="left"/> Internationally acclaimed California based furniture designer, Cory Grosser, (corygrosser.com) recently took a break from designing high-end furniture to create a... http://www.corygrosser.com/CG_1-for-Coalesse http://www.corygrosser.com/following/corygrosser.com/CG_1-for-Coalesse Thu, 09 Jun 2011 15:35:48 +0000 corygrosser.com 1569010 Like Coco Chanel's little black dress, the CG_1 table collection is unobtrusive, slim, and versatile.

This detail combined with multiple top options can create a quiet, monolithic aesthetic or make a statement through contrasting materials and colors.

A studio in California that manages the brand image of the various car companies owned by Ford. Working closely with Ford's internal team of transportation designers, graphic designers and managers, we consulted on several branding projects encompassing: research, visual strategy, and product design. As experts in contemporary culture, global design, lifestyle, and trends, we brought a unique perspective to Ford's team. One of the highlights of this collaboration was work for the Mercury Division. We helped the group develop a design "DNA" guide to inform the future visual strategy of the Mercury Brand, as well as developing target consumers', and lifestyle trends. The results of our efforts have influenced the design and strategy of Mercury. In tandem with the Design DNA Guide we developed a series of consumer products to celebrate the launch of the Mercury Messenger concept vehicle. Our products resulted from the careful consideration of the DNA and were closely integrated wit the styling and technica features of the car and the owner's projected lifestyle. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/1160942/escalatorlong_640.jpg" width="640" height="320" width_o="1000" height_o="500" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/1160942/escalatorlong_o.jpg" data-mid="5634611" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/1160942/mercury_backpack_640.jpg" width="640" height="475" width_o="762" height_o="565" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/1160942/mercury_backpack_o.jpg" data-mid="5586334" border="0" align="left"/><img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/1160942/mercury_watch_01_640.jpg" width="640" height="475" width_o="762" height_o="565" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/2/89463/1160942/mercury_watch_01_o.jpg" data-mid="5586335" border="0" align="left"/> In 2003, we began a collaboration with Ford Motor Company's Brand Imaging Group.

Walt wanted his studio designed to facilitate optimum production, which is why he commissioned the design of the Airline Chair (1934). The chair was used by the animators throughout the studio including the screening room. Produced in limited quantities for Walt, the original Airline Chair has become one of the most sought after Art Moderne products ever designed. In 2007, Walt Disney Signature, Disney's adult lifestyle brand, contacted Cory to imagine a new armchair and ottoman inspired by the original chair from 1934.
