The Coolest Furniture on the Planet!
Kendall LeCompte
LeCompte (center) with friends is the elder statesman of Delia, the artists group that makes with care many of our items.	Nothing really matters in a bio, it's all just facts that happened. My facts are: raised as a military kid, lived in twelve houses in different states and countries, had twenty odd jobs from fourteen on, was an English major, was a long term bike shop owner, am a poet, am a potter, have a love of travel, like to dive, and I give a slight edge to dogs over cats.

What the bio doesn't show is that I evolved from a sponge, no fact for that, just the sure knowledge that I Cannot do or go anywhere without soaking things up. As formless as water this stuff I carry, then it just swishes out in some new form.

Christmas 1999, I saw Crete and Istanbul for the first time. They're reappearing as a series of chairs. They're not the chairs of those places, but chairs with bits of those places: a Minoan Bull Throne, an Octopus Chair, a chair for Artemis and one for a Hamadryad. Perhaps one chair might evolve into a "Wine Tree," whose water was a jewelry clasp in the Athens National Museum - a tiny golden spiral holding a canine tooth. Then it became a ceramic wall cone held by a long, looping steel spiral. Now it holds wine bottles and will one day pay for my house. Some day I'll put in a bio, "Wine Tree." But that won't say anything about a jeweler from boeotia in the 4th c. BC who found a dog's incisor.

Alas, poor bio...
