Furniture Design Furniture borders between the realms of Fine Art and Design. I am very interested in the craft involved with furniture and the detail work within the joining of materials. There is an intimate connection with the body that the craftsman is constantly aware of. I keep an experimental nature to my work, often testing new and found materials in addition to trying to use centuries old materials in new ways.
