Founded in 1987, the first shop opened across the street from SCI-Arc, on the corner of Berkeley and Nebraska Street, in Santa Monica. Thom Mayne was one of his first clients, arriving with plans for the Thom Mayne's 6th Street residence and a spaceship for his son Cooper. Wolf Prix of Coop Himmelb(l)au, Ray Kappe, Robert Graham, Rem Koolhaas, Gary Paige, Daly - Genik, Susan Narduli, Charles and Elizabeth Lee, and artist Lee Jaffe soon followed.
The work has often been experimental, largely a collaboration with architects trying to break away from the limits of straight walls and flat surfaces characteristic of late Modernism. Tom Farrage continues designing and building on the micro and macro scales. He explained, For me, metal work, which is my trade, and architecture, which is my avocation, are inseparable.
