Custom is our specialty at Robin Wade Furniture​

Feeling a lack of stimulation at work? The problem might be your surroundings—but don’t worry; Robin Wade Furniture has the solution. Each piece of Robin Wade furniture is as unique as the tree it came from. Every item comes embedded with its own individual history, providing the customer with the inspiration needed to power through the work day. Clients who submit a custom order will find they become a participant in Robin’s vision. In the off chance that two customers choose the same exact design, the unique grain of each slab of wood sets each piece apart from its brethren. Let’s be honest, it’s difficult not to get excited to sit down at your desk and get to work knowing that your desk was designed with you in mind.

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.
