Robin Wade
Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward
thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design
aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood
artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture.
Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the
process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each
specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked
by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before
the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and
power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with
a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade
Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally
sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade
calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than
nature,” he says.
