Las Vegas Summer Market

Aug 3

Our first showing to the west coast market has been wonderful. Seems like this market (or at least a good sector of it) is more thoughtful about sustainability and really gets what we are doing. Having much fun up here in the beautiful World Market Center, sharing ShawLiving's beautiful space. The show will be going on two more days. I'll be heading back home a day early - friday morning. If you are in town for this wonderful west coast market, be sure to stop by. ShawLiving Space, 5th floor, building B.

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.
