Brett Miller Please Touch

"I’ve never been one to follow the rules, but through my practice and working with natural materials, I’ve gained a deep appreciation and respect for universal laws. Some things just won’t work, but most things do. And within the parameters of functionality, there’s almost limitless wiggle room for the expression of form." — Brett Miller

A tactile person by nature, Miller can’t help but engage with objects physically, particularly those that invite interaction. Round shapes, especially, seem to call out to be touched. Please Touch is a nod to breaking the rules, stepping outside the boundaries, tasting the forbidden fruit, and doing the things you’re told not to do. Because, why not? Why does a table have to be rectangular, square, or even circular? Why does a chair need four legs? Why does a cabinet have to be static? 'Why?' is a fundamental question—the first question we ask as children when we gain the ability to speak. But before we ask why, we touch. To know, to understand, to feel—we touch.

So let the rule-breaking child in you out and, Please Touch.
