Heading for High Point tomorrow

Written By Robin Wade

Tomorrow, I'll be heading back to beautiful High Point North Carolina for our semi-annual show.  But this time it's going to be much more comfy.  Instead of driving with a trailer full of furniture in tow, I've got a 1 1/2 hour flight, with the furniture awaiting my arrival. Althought it's clearly not, it kinda sounds like the big boys!

We won't be sitting in our normal prime spot of the IHFC building's InterHall, but we'll be just up the elevator a couple of floors, in ShawLiving's beautiful showroom.

If you will be in High Point this weekend or next week be sure to stop by to see our all new 2012 SuperNatural Collection.  Hope to see you there!

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.
