Ar & Dee, the design collaboration between Rob Herschenfeld and Chris Rucker is the culmination of a decade of joint work on projects of all scales across many disciplines. Adapting to a changing New York City, which has pushed out smaller design-build firms, the two have worked toward their shared vision of an environment that fosters design, craftsmanship and apprentice-style training. Recognizing the lack of skilled designers with a firm knowledge of manufacturing techniques and a shrinking pool of high-level fabricators in traditional woodwork, cabinetry, welding and machining, they took it all under one roof to encourage cross-disciplinary dialog and training focused on the progress of individual craftsmen. Seeking out challenges and forging ahead in search of solutions is what defines Ar & Dee. With a combined forty years of design, engineering and practical building experience, the two feel there is no project beyond their capabilities. With a belief that no detail is too small to warrant attention and nothing is beyond the scope of their endeavor, they have taken on multidisciplinary projects across the spectrum from one-off furniture pieces, to fully designed and appointed private residences, to industrial production facilities. If it can be built, Ar & Dee can build it better, more thoughtfully, more comfortably and more beautifully.
