Peter Pierobon

"I want my work to be around for generations, absorbing the history of and growing old with the family that uses it."
Peter Pierobon finds inspiration in the indigenous art of the Inuit, African, Northwest Coast Indian, and Aboriginal Australian cultures. He's impressed by the ways they integrate artistic objects into daily life. And he wants to incorporate those values into American culture. To create furniture with parts that slide and open with delicious ease and effortlessness, making the act of using them a pleasurable part of our daily rituals.

Each piece is carved, sanded and finished entirely by hand. By combining contemporary styling, traditional craftsmanship, and the ritualistic use of decorative elements, he produces a distinct relationship between the primitive and the sophisticated.
