Artist Statement:
At Heather and Fred Studios we
design and build fine artistic
furniture in a contemporary
style. Fine craftsmanship and
an attention to detail set our
pieces apart from the
mass-produced world of today's
furniture. We work with solid
hardwoods, veneer core plywood
and natural wood veneers.
Every step is done as 'green'
as possible. Our pieces are
built one at a time, in the
studio tradition, and
constructed to last a
lifetime. We carefully use
proportion to create a sense
of balance and flow between
the natural characteristics of
the wood and the human
tendency toward flat panels
and straight lines. The use of
inlays and the inclusion of
other materials such as cast
glass and metal adds a level
of detail beyond the wood
itself. In these ways, we
strive to explore the play
between the organic and
synthetic, both in material
and design. Fine joinery that
appears simple, but is
mechanically complex, allows
our pieces to look like they
“grew” that way.
