After successfully designing furniture with a straightforward approach for years, this artist set out to create something unique for friends who were expecting their first child. He wanted his creation to capture the baby's imagination for years to come. Today, like his first kid-inspired piece, Judson designs some of the most offbeat, whimsical furnishings in the world. Cartoons like Looney Tunes’ Bugs Bunny and Roger Rabbit, along with the work of innovative architect Frank Gheary, inspire his work. He has also designed several props for movie and commercial sets and finds his greatest joy in designing play areas for children’s hospitals. His latest work can be seen in the Pediatric Unit of the Staten Island New York University Hospital. It is a large-scale play fire truck that has been designed as a dedication to the fire fighters that lost their lives on September 11th, 2001. “Children always get my work. They respond very positively, unlike adults who often say ‘you can’t do that.’”
