Bio
Robert G. Frazier's interest and involvement in designing and
building goes back to childhood experiences in his father's
home workshop. However, in his work life, he was a pediatrician
-- with severe limits on time and tools.
Nonetheless, he designed -- while commuting
or seeking sleep - all the while focusing on simple furniture,
picture frames, and puzzles, usually with a strong geometric
aspect. An early project, a coffee table, was based on the
enlargement of a SOMA puzzle that his father had made for
each of his children. (This design is no longer in production.)
From there, Frazier developed a series of matrix designs and
joints strong enough to set the matrix on the diagonal. More
recently, his focus has been the designs based
on the tetrahedron -- with its acute and obtuse angles
-- rather than the cube and its exclusive use of right angles.
