Manifold was conceived by Ross and Elizabeth Fiersten to engage in the ongoing conversation occurring in Chicago between art and design, makers and manufacturers. Located at 4426 N Ravenswood Ave, Manifold houses a storefront gallery and a manufacturing workshop.  The direct connection between the gallery and the workshop reinforces Manifold's guiding mission: to overtly preserve the link from the object presented to the process of its crafting.  In addition to producing and selling furniture and accessories on-site, Manifold features gallery exhibitions and events highlighting issues pertinent to contemporary artists and designers. 

Formerly known as metal+works, Ross and Elizabeth have been designing and building furniture and art in Chicago for over a decade. 

MANIFOLD is open to the public during exhibitions: Thursday, Friday and Saturday from 1 to 6pm, or by appointment
