| Custom Furniture |
Functional furniture is everywhere.
What I strive for in my furniture and what I
admire in that of others are pieces which can be sculptures.
Animated, balanced, interesting forms enhanced
by color and grain.
Beautiful, natural materials used in innovative
or unexpected ways.
Designs which are most of all beautiful, and
yes, also very functional.
Over the last 17 years, my work has
evolved to be more organic both in design and technique.
I admire the simplicity and economy of the
natural world where each material shows its full range of possibilities.
I collect ideas while hiking in the forest, on
beaches, or boating on Puget Sound.
I am drawn to natural forms because they are not
static:
they grow, spring, flow, fracture and erode.
Each of my designs starts with the idea of such
an action, in addition to the function of the piece of furniture.
In my work I emphasize structure over
ornamentation, curves over straight lines and smooth transitions instead of
exposed joinery.
Many of the details of my
furniture do not show up in photos:
textures, edges and curves that are meant to be
touched more than seen.
I want my furniture to be fun to touch, sit in,
eat off and live with for many generations.
In the past two years I
have started combining sculpted wood with natural stone.
Stone is usually such a precious material.
It is cut, ground and polished to remove its
rough exterior and show off its inner beauty.
Yet I have never seen a polished stone that
compares with the rough softness of a beach stone.
In these
tables the wood is literally balanced by the
weight of the stone, yet the design switches the usual qualities of the
materials – the wood looks sharp and hard, while the organic shape of the
stone makes it seem soft by comparison.
In my “Wood Explosion”
series I am concentrating on exploring the range of forms that can be
created from a single piece of wood.
Each of these pieces of wood are cut part way
through, and then expanded by steam bending, creating furniture with hardly
any glue or joinery.
The nature of the wood itself restricts the
curves to ones that are both dramatic and extremely fluid.
Unless, of course, they break.
However, if they bend and dry successfully, the
wood itself is re-formed into its new shape.
This leaves the piece very stable with no
internal stresses remaining.
