Matthew Allen, the painter-turned-furniture designer behind Red Hook, Brooklyn-based company Mallen4, uses a distinct process of inlaid colored resin to add painting sensibilities to modern furniture. A graduate of Pratt Institute, Matthew struggled to find a way of incorporating color and composition to furniture. Ultimately, he created a signature process of inlaying colored resin into a substrate material which acts as a functional surface. The pieces can be created in a wide variety of materials, including Corian, wood, metal, and plastics, in any color, from transparent to opaque.

Over 3500 gold plated parts make up this truly unique vase designed to look like scaffolding. Its shape is inspired by 19th century Chinese vases, while its composition from “scaffold” makes it both very urban and very now. There’s a small glass container that holds water, which is hidden by the rest of the vase’s design, making it not just a conversation piece but a functional vase. The Scaffold Vase is the work of UK design studio Freshwest.
