Thomas Lentini — 'The Birdworth House', 2024
“The Petworth series is inspired by Lentini's favourite architectural building – the Farnsworth House, designed by Mies Van Der Rohe. The building is celebrated for its balanced union between humanity, art, and nature – a perfect source of inspiration for both a birdhouse and a doghouse.
"If I were a bird, this is where I'd live. If I were a dog, this is the place I'd build for myself at the top of Wye River.” – Thomas Lentini
