From its home in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts, New England Modern offers
a collection of limited production dining and occasional tables,
beds, and chairs. Here is uncompromising traditional workmanship
in forms which draw on the past, yet have a lively, contemporary
touch. The furniture features a wide range of detail, from relief-carved
motifs drawn from nature and precise, dovetailed joinery to robust,
sculptural shapes and green wood split, shaved, and made into chairs.
The collection is built for comfort, delights the eye, and will
live in harmony with a range of styles.
A lifelong working knowledge of the Northeastern forest and its
lumber makes native woods like maple, cherry, oak, birch, tulip,
and white pine our favorites. Harvesting close to home also facilitates
our commitment to sustained-yield forestry. This instinct for wood
is reflected in every piece.
New England Modern finishes further distinguish the line. Hand-worked
surfaces as well as the grain and figure of wood are enhanced by
milk-paint colors, blended and burnished to a warm glow, then finished
with tung oil that penetrates the wood, adding depth, polish, and
protection.
This is work for those who value the nature of the wood, the elements
of joinery, and the freedom and directness of the classic made
modern.
