New York based John Kelly is an award winning furniture designer and he walked away with a best of show award for his Rho collection at the recent International Furniture Show in Singapore. John Kelly studied architecture in the University of Pennsylvania back in the 1980s. He designed furniture while trying to make ends meet and thanks to the success of his custom made pieces, what started off as a sideline evolved into his livelihood – simple yet clean and well designed pieces of furniture that flew off the shelves faster than you could say: 'I want one!'

The great thing about designing furniture is that it is exclusively for humans; and regardless of how much humans evolve, we continue to have pretty basic needs in terms of furnishing the places where we live...We sleep in beds...We work at desks...We sit in chairs...We eat from table tops...We put our clothes in chests and wardrobes...Fortunately, John Kelly does not think that we will ever evolve to a state where this is different.
Collectively, all of his pieces combine to create a story composed of many characters that depict the idea of the entire range. Over time, the range of furniture may evolve and the characters may change; but each chapter will convey the same meaning and it's place in time will remain unchanged.
