About
CONSTRUCTIVE IS A DESIGN STUDIO AND CREATIVE CONSULTING AGENCY ESTABLISHED IN 1991 BY ARCHITECTURAL DESIGNER DAVID LEFKOWITZ. WE SPECIALIZE IN INTERIORS AND LIGHTING DESIGN, TYPOGRAPHY AND WEBSITE DESIGN. WE HAVE HAD THE GREAT FORTUNE TO WORK WITH WELL-RESPECTED INDUSTRY INFLUENCERS AND TRENDSETTERS. OUR WORK HAS BROUGHT US TO THREE CONTINENTS, AND HAS APPEARED IN COUNTLESS NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL PUBLICATIONS, AS WELL AS MAJOR MOTION PICTURES, BROADCAST TELEVISION SHOWS, MUSIC VIDEOS, AND NEWS SEGMENTS. OUR MISSION IS TO ENSURE YOUR PROJECTS ARE ON CONCEPT, WITHIN SCHEDULE AND BUDGET, AND EXCEED EXPECTATIONS.
David Lefkowitz
I HAVE A NATURAL CURIOSITY AND A PROPENSITY FOR TAKING THINGS APART, BUT CREDIT YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WORKING IN MY FATHER'S BROOKLYN METAL SHOP FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW THINGS ARE PUT TOGETHER. I AM LARGELY SELF-TAUGHT AND NOT OVERLY ACADEMIC ABOUT MY WORK—I SIMPLY AIM TO EVOKE AN EMOTIONAL REACTION FROM THE USER. MY FOREMOST OBJECTIVE IS COMPOSITION—EMPLOYING POINT VS COUNTERPOINT TO PROVIDE SOME INTERESTING MEASURE OF CONTRAST. I AM A MINIMALIST TO THE CORE, BUT NEVER AT THE EXPENSE OF WARMTH OR HUMANITY. MODERNISM TEACHES US THAT FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION, BUT ROMANTICISM REMINDS US THAT BEAUTY IS A FUNCTION TOO. MASTER ARCHITECT LUDWIG MIES VAN DER ROHE ADOPTED THE MOTTO "LESS IS MORE"; MY MOTTO IS "LESS IS MORE (
MORE OR LESS)".
I ALSO MAKE MUSIC MIXES AND EDIT AUDIO FOR FUN—PROVIDING THE SOUNDTRACKS FOR HOUSE PARTIES, INDUSTRY EVENTS, AND OFFICE DANCE BREAKS. MY MIXES CAN BE FOUND AT
