RWF well received in High Point

Written By Robin Wade

There's no question that rwf design isn't for everyone.  For some it's too modern.  Other's it might be too rustic.  For some it's too expensive.  For some stores and designers, it's too custom (they want/need to order via sku numbers, standard products that they can count on every one being exactly alike. 

But, it was great to see the response from one of the best high end brands in our industry.  We have already begun a few more custom pieces for the upcoming Las Vegas market as well as next Spring's High Point show.

Here are a few pics of one of the pieces showcased in the beautiful Ekornes Showroom yesterday.

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.
