GIDEON NÄF

FABRICATOR | PRINT MAKER

Discreet + Discrete began in 2009 as a passion project in the communal art area in 128 Vine. While Tom King was on family leave, he started making small tables and chairs out of metal and wood during nap time. As more people took notice of his work, more requests came in and Tom was able to quit his job. Tom took over the art space at 128 Vine and started to hire talented artists to keep up with the demand. Everyone at Discreet + Discrete has a background in visual art ranging from drawing to sculpture, all of which shine through in each custom project.
