Andrew Jay Rumpler designs and fabricates objects in Brooklyn, NY, and has been making work under the studio name Nine Stories Furniture Co. since 2007. Creating systems for the reuse of discarded materials is a theme which is central to his practice. In addition to studio work, he is an adjunct professor at Parsons/The New School.
His current work "Vulcan", is an ongoing group of related seating objects fabricated from de-commissioned fire hose. The name is a reference to the fraternal order of African American firefighters formed in 1940 as a response to the systemic injustices they were forced to endure in the department in New York City.
