Lost in the woods

Lost in the Woods Trees provide us with furniture that can last for hundreds of years. Wood species determines density, grain, and color. The way that a tree is milled determines how the grain is exposed. Practical purpose resolves what will be made from our trees, a chair, chest, cabinet, table or a lamp.

Trend, style and period guides furniture design. Craftspeople or modern manufacturing techniques give wood furniture detail shape and finish. Antique, traditional, retro, vintage, modernist and contemporary wood furniture all start with a tree.

Design directors Samuel Fleming Lewis and Stephen Kladder of INSTUDIO urge you to consider each piece of wood furniture like a great work of art for your home. Look at detail, proportion, rhythm, balance, grain, color, finish and the relevance a piece will have in your room when furniture shopping.

If you love a piece of wood furniture it becomes a foundation for your design style and can travel with you wherever you call home. Any style of wood furniture can be passed down to generations with memory and love. instudio­sf.com
