akstudio's Profile

I am a designer and maker of Japanese inspired furniture. Reclaimed or sustainably harvested lumber is used as much as possible. I believe in my responsibility to lessen the impact my work has on our environment. Beyond that, though, each piece of lumber that has been reclaimed for future use has a story to tell that is all it's own. I believe this enhances the character and emotion that is contained within the piece.The designs are taken from a myriad of my influences. Japanese architecture, Arts and Crafts pieces, nature, Danish modern; these all play a part in designing a piece that reflects not only the influences it comes from, but also a "quiet elegance" that will enhance the space in which it resides.
