The movement to buy locally, which has gained momentum in the areas
of produce and food, is now spreading to arts and crafts. Through
the work of over seventy contemporary furniture makers, the role of
place in the creative process is explored and celebrated. Whether
in terms of materials, inspiration, or the interaction with
customers, these artists are rooted in their surroundings. What
springs from these roots is usually unique, often edgy, and always
beautiful furniture and accessories. Over 150 examples of their
work are shown in full color, with ample detail photographs so the
reader gets an intimate look at the skill and artistic instincts of
these makers. Essays by furniture makers and leaders in the craft
world amplify the visual feast and help the reader understand the
vision, motivation, and inspiration that give impetus to the
artists and inform their work.
Beautiful contemporary furniture, designed and made by 72 US
woodworkers who are members of The Furniture Society, headquartered
in Asheville, North Carolina. Seating, case furniture, and
accessories demonstrate the healthy state of handmade furniture in
which creativity abounds in thoughtful designs. Exotic and classic
woods and other materials are used for original designs, as created
by these women and men woodworkers. Inspirations for interior
designers showcase useful and artistic forms. Also, the work of 13
juried students is included to encourage new talent, and they are
fine works indeed.
