Many celebs have a passion for designing clothing, but
Brad Pitt is among the first we've encountered with a
hankering to design furniture.
The 48-year-old has teamed up with New Jersey-based
furniture maker Frank Pollaro to create 12 designs
consisting of tables, chairs and a bed, which can
be seen between November 13 and 15 in New York.
Pitt explained that his fascination with furniture design
began after discovering the work of architects like
Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd
Wright. He revealed his hobby's origin by saying:
"I've been doodling ideas for buildings and
furniture since the early 1990s, when I first
discovered Mackintosh and Frank Lloyd Wright.
Actually, I found Wright in college, when looking
for a lazy two-point credit to get out of French. It
forever changed my life."
And even though his works will be going on sale for
about $45,000 each, the actor is modest about his
newest career aspirations.
When asked about what it's like to officially become
the
designer he's always wanted to be, he replied, "Let's
not get ahead of ourselves."
His collaborator, on the other hand, suggested, "I think
we'll be doing this for a long time."
Either way, Mr. Pitt's talent never ceases to amaze us.
