Craftsmanship
We are a diverse group of furniture artisans working out of our own independent studios, bringing the near forgotten world of traditional craftsmanship to your door. We are Vermonters; we are Kenyan; we are Israeli-- and many places in between. We are part of New England's communal backyard, and the farthest corners of the world. By sharing our knowledge, expertise and creative concepts with each other, we expand not only our potential for greater artistry, but also the realm of possibilities for the functional art we can provide our customers to enhance the beauty and character of their homes. Our furniture pieces reflect our passion and diversity, but also maintain our most fundamental principles:
- Our work is guaranteed for the entire lifetime of the initial owner. Every one of us takes personal responsibility for the beauty, functionality, integrity and durability of your furniture-- from selecting the perfect boards, to designing robust and intricate joinery, to applying a beautiful and durable multi-layered finish, and every other step along the way.
- Environmental sustainability is at the heart of our mission. We know where our wood comes from. We do not use illegally harvested woods. More about environmentally responsible forestry...
- We use a variety of top quality finishes to perfectly match our clients' individual needs for each piece of funishings. We are proud to offer a selection of all natural, environmentally safe finishes from Vermont Natural Coatings, These organic finish products made from whey significantly raise the bar on performance for environmentally safe coatings, producing beauty, integrity and long-lasting durability without VOCs or toxic side effects.
