The Solar Sailer Collection (2022-Present)

Exclusively represented by Todd Merrill Studio

The concept of Solar Sailer marries visual motifs of retro futurism and the high-end French decorative arts techniques (marquetry, lacquer) learned from his father. His subsequent mastery over the process of mixing and pouring resins has expanded the potential of contemporary design. The possibilities for combinations, arrangements, and colors of the resin are endless, rendering each piece completely unique. A love letter to the space race era of design, Schapira has incorporated more modern references – the production art of Tron, Daft Punk’s visionary costumes, the Bauhaus revival of the 1970s – into a physical and functional embodiment of galactic ambition.

So far the collection comprises of a hanging bar cabinet, two consoles, side, coffee, and dining tables as well as mirrors. Pieces are currently on display at Todd Merrill Studios in Tribeca, NYC and select pieces will be on Display at Salon Art & Design and Design Miami 2024.
