Jeff Soderbergh Jeff Soderbergh Custom Sustainable Furnishings & Fine Art

What is your design philosophy?

Very simple: listen and deliver timeless craftsmanship. My job is to turn ideas and inspiration into a functional, beautiful reality. Choose stunning materials and they will speak for themselves. Keep the design simple and let it sing. And lastly, no one wants to live in a museum. Make beautiful pieces that are easy to care for and live with.

What inspires your work?

My materials. For more than thirty years, I’ve been gathering, sorting, and stockpiling gorgeous pieces of wood, metal, stone, and glass that have an incredible texture or depth or color or grain, something that calls out. They tell a story of a simpler time and give a place to gather around and share time.

What motivates you?

Out of my year-round design studio/showroom in Portsmouth, RI, I’m focused on creating one sustainable heirloom at a time. Each piece is exceptionally crafted using timeless joinery, the finest hand-selected sustainable materials, and family-friendly finishes for years of enjoyment and easy care. I love any challenge that has a basis in beautiful materials whether it be bronze or steel, archaic wood or pristine windfall trees, or even reclaimed stone. It is the material that makes these pieces sing.

For more than thirty years, my clients have come to me to commission something special. Our projects range from providing architects and designers with stunning vintage reclaimed materials like flooring, beams, wall paneling, or any architectural details, for both residential and commercial applications, to creating bespoke pieces that fit a very specific use, aesthetic, and space. I have a small and dedicated team of talented craftspeople, drafters, and makers who all love making as much as I do. Collaboration is the key to creating something truly special. My singular goal is to listen to my clients and be forever proud of the pieces we produce.

FRANKLIN GOTHIC BOOK REGULAR

My beautiful family. Two boys who know themselves and live out loud and a stunning woman who I am so amazed by. My wife, Natasha, and I are trying to raise our children to find their own happiness and then pursue it for life. In this way, I am always learning what is truly important. Tumbling in the surf, walking in the woods, enjoying chicken Mirabella gathered together around a table, and learning to drive are among them.
