Hello internet explorers! I’m James.

I care about making furniture that is both affordable and beautiful. This is a rocking stool

that I launched on Kickstarter. My next project will be called Arch Stools

and feature 32 different arches. Sign up here for updates.

My twitter is @mcbennett. Let’s have coffee!

I am married to Carey and sometimes make a youtube video when we travel. I have narcolepsy and I love to swim. I live in Brooklyn, NY. Previously, I have lived in Nashville, Dublin, London, Copenhagen, Rotterdam and Riyadh.

I studied architecture that focused on how buildings, cities, and societies function. I love to learn new things. I keep learning through short online courses that range from comics

to innovation.

These are people I’ve learned something from…..
