Richard, who left his career in advertising to make furniture using reclaimed materials, recently opened his massive workshop and shop Olga Guanabara, named after his beloved Chocolate Lab. The furniture includes one-of-a-kind dining and coffee tables and light fixtures - one table, fashioned from a log fished from the East River, mimics the Manhattan Bridge; another is built from wide planks joined by lengths of steel.
