His furniture uses unconventional and bold approaches by using everyday materials in unusual contexts. His chairs in the Easy Edges series solved the problem of instability in cardboard chairs by gluing layers of laminated corrugated cardboard together.

His basket weaving techniques were seen as some of the most innovative American designs since the designs of Charles and Ray Eames.
