Received Squarespace6 beta last night

Written By Robin Wade

squarespace 6I enjoy spotlighting my fav tools, gadgets, and influences that have made a difference in this little business in some way.  The website design platform Squarespace is right up there.  Being creative in the design of our furniture is wonderful.  But I also enjoy having a direct connection with designing and creating the marketing of the furniture as well.

The New York based website development platform Squarespace has been instrumental in allowing me to efficiently add photo's, galleries, and blog posts with the ease of a click of the mouse (well trackpad).

I've been reading about thier (Squarespace') success.  Venture capital cash flooded in a couple of years ago, they hired top notch programmers to build whatever they dreamed of.

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.
