Accordance with Nature: Thoughtful Wood and Metal Goods by a Self-Taught Maker - Remodelista
Made in Connecticut: Accordance with Nature (AWN), beautifully designed, multi-functional storage implements, evocative of Shaker brooms and boxes, by Patrick Turiello, a self-daught woodworker and metalworker with a background in sculpture and sound design and a degree in architecture.

We originally spotted AWN when Turiello exhibited at Field & Supply a couple of years ago; now, we’re taking a closer look at a few favorite pieces.
Turiello’s Clamp and Vessel, shown here in walnut, affixes to a surface to become a small tabletop coatrack of sorts.
The Dowel Rail, also shown in walnut and copper, has pegs, and can be hung with Turiello’s upscale s-hooks.
Three iterations on a theme, including the jauntily bristled Wall Rack No.
A Woven Shelf in maple with brass hardware.
Above L: A Hanging Vessel has bristles charmingly affixed to the bottom.
“We’ve all seen machine-made wire constructions (shopping carts come to mind) which in my opinion have a very cold and lifeless personality,” Turiello writes in the AWN Journal.
A reverse iteration: the Brass Rail No.
Turiello’s ladders, coming soon.
A maple Pencil Tray, with attached vessel for dried flowers. In the market for artful storage?
