Robert Currey - Atlanta Market

My friends at Currey & Co. have it going on.  Every market their booth is one of if not the most happening spots in town!  There seems to always be a party going on.  And in my mind, to qualify for a party there has to be fun, food, friends, and usually includes booze (even though I can't partake any longer).  Here's a picture of Robert Currey along with our dear friend Liz Young that joined us from Tampa.

Robert shared one piece of wisdom for us to try at the next High Point Market.  I'm taking notes from this market master, and can't wait to see the outcome!

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.
