John Sterling

I want my furniture to embody the principles of purity, honesty, simplicity, and functionality. I strive to dignify the natural grains and defects of my medium. I believe that things you surround yourself with should connect you to their roots. The naturally occurring defects and organic forms allow you to become in touch with the tree and help to tell its story. In sum  20th century architect Irving Gill said it best when he said, any deviation from simplicity results in a loss of dignity.
