One of this country's leading studio furniture makers, Alphonse Mattia dismisses the dichotomy between functional and nonfunctional objects. He prefers instead the concept of "usefulness"—something that conveys meaning and emotion along with utility.
Mattia teaches at Rhode Island School of Design and has received fellowships from the Massachusetts Artists Foundation and National Endowment for the Arts. His work is in the collections of the Museum of Arts & Design, Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and Yale University Art Gallery, among others.
