Phil Campbell tables delivered to Frank Lloyd Wright home this morning

Written By Robin Wade

This morning we delivered three tables to the new gift shop of the historic Rosenbaum home here in Florence.

One, was a table for them to use for displaying information.  The other two are the pieces I made from an oak that was devastated along with the rest of the town a couple of years ago.

It will be available for viewing at the Frank Lloyd Wright/Rosenbaum home gift shop for the next month or so.  The fund raising effort should begin next week.  And the documentary film by Andrew Reed should follow right behind.

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.
