The Station, is the name of the house we all lived in while working on this project. Located on top of a train tunnel, we worked to the sound of freight trains rumbling below.
The Train Whistle is an homage to the origin of our collective. An easily manufacturable item, with strong graphic qualities.
❷ Materials Sourcing
Made from Red Oak sourced from US Steel shipping containers, the Train Whistle calls out to the histories of Pittsburgh. Painted with Golden Acrylic, manufactured in NY; and finished with Odies Oil, a non-toxic hardwax finish made in the USA.
