As an artist for more than 20 years, Dahlberg creates strikingly beautiful furniture by taking pieces he finds and re-purposing them into functional art. He says, “Furniture should tell a story. It should be striking and evoke emotion. My work has a soul and it is built to be shared.”
At Orchard Fort Lauderdale, Dahlberg will showcase an assortment of unique furniture such as desks, chairs and dressers. You Son of a Bench will donate 20% of each item sold to The Pride Center.
This partnership with The Pride Center at Equality Park is part of Orchard Supply Hardware’s commitment to neighbors helping neighbors. Since opening one year ago, the store has been supporting local causes such as Friends of Birch State Park, South Florida Symphony, John Offerdahl’s Hand Off Foundation, Deliver the Dream, Kiwanis Wilton Manors, Salvation Army and more to be announced.
“We are thrilled to align with Orchard Supply Hardware that will be helping us landscape our on-campus children’s playground,” said Robert Boo, CEO of The Pride Center at Equality Park. “Thanks to the generosity of Orchard and other businesses we are able to fulfill our mission to provide a safe and nurturing place for the LGBT community.”
