Growing up in a resourceful do-it-yourself family, John Paul Plauché learned how to design and create objects at an early age. A man with an inquisitive, artistic mind, Plauché earned a degree in architecture before starting Plodes Studio, a multidisciplinary workshop that provides clients with architectural, interior, and product design solutions. This Steel Grate Top (2004) turns his Geometric Fire Pit into a grill.
