About the Designer:

Skram operates under the creative direction of A. Jacob Marks.

His approach is rooted in a philosophy that argues for the inextricability of good design and extraordinary workmanship.

Distinguished for his innovative seating, case goods, and tables – unique in their negotiation of proportion, line and visual weight – Marks’ designs have been featured in a range of residential and commercial spaces throughout the world.

About the Exhibit: BC1, BC2

Marks’ work for Skram explores the intersection of beauty and utility. Distilled to the essential, and innovative but relevant, his designs are celebrations of restraint in consideration of form, line, proportion and materiality.

At Design Pier NYC 2020, Skram displays two new designs from Bolota, a limited series of seating and tables using high-density black cork with blackened aluminum, timber, and bronze detailing.
