Celebrating Mother Nature’s Unique Creations

Oct 4

While researching Robin Wade Furniture, I came across the phrase, “celebrates Mother Nature’s unique creations…” At first I wasn’t sure why this phrase made an impact on me, but I realized that the phrase combines nature and creativity, which in essence is the purpose of Robin Wade Furniture, and most sustainable furniture. The phrase shows a beautiful representation of what naturally torn down trees should be used for.

Sustainability is defined as a long-term maintenance of responsibility, and responsible management of resource use. Sustainable furniture allows for Mother Nature’s beauty to be a part of every home, but also shows that we are doing our job towards protecting the earth. As Robin notes, it “gives nature a voice and a personality in your home”, and allows you to leave all the hard work to him!

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.
