Matthew Allen, the painter-turned-furniture designer behind Red Hook, Brooklyn-based company Mallen4, uses a distinct process of inlaid colored resin to add painting sensibilities to modern furniture. A graduate of Pratt Institute, Matthew struggled to find a way of incorporating color and composition to furniture. Ultimately, he created a signature process of inlaying colored resin into a substrate material which acts as a functional surface. The pieces can be created in a wide variety of materials, including Corian, wood, metal, and plastics, in any color, from transparent to opaque.
