“Furniture making is a discipline increasingly defined by computers, machines, and a speed-of-production ethos. By sharp contrast, the Krenov School offers a deeply thoughtful and intimate approach to form, material, and tactility. The mundane interactions with furniture that often go unconsidered are elevated here: The simple act of opening a drawer or closing a cabinet door is imbued with detail that you may not be able to see or articulate, but which you can feel. The pieces produced here convey warmth and an element of sweetness, both of which are hallmarks of the work ofthe school’s founder and namesake, James Krenov.”

She completed her second year with a breathtaking chair and two years of unbelievable growth. This year your DONATION DOUBLES: $5k matching gift through Dec. 31st. Help us reach our goal.
