We made this month's Florida Design

For Edgar Posting

Apr 17

Well, one of our tables did.

Linda was shopping for groceries last night, was in the checkout line, picked up and briefly flipped thru the current Issue of Florida Design. Look what she found! My goodness I love (and could use) free press. This is a great article. But to be perfectly honest it's really about my over the top, super creative friend's in Winter Park - Phil Kean and Rob Turner of PKD.

The photo was of Phil's 2012 New American Home dining room. I think Phil's home make's a great new home for our single slab dining table. We collaborated with Rob and Phil on this dining table. Very pleased with the results.

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.
