Featured Artist- Scott Armstrong
Scott Armstrong comes from a strong background in fine arts, which has shaped his approach to creating his fine furniture. Growing up in Wyoming he also has an appreciation for the beauty of nature and an of natural materials. After working many years as a product designer in the furniture industry, he created his own studio in 1992.
With his background in design, Scott's furniture combines modern principles with traditional forms and craftsmanship.
He creates one of a kind and limited production pieces, each with a emphasis on movement combined with the beauty of natural woods. He utilizes both solid woods and veneers in his work, with close attention to construction details and durability.
"Design of a piece is blending form, function, and aesthetics" he says. "Form is most important, and wood species and grain patterns are chosen to enhance it. Then comes function, and lastly ornamentation. The three must blend seamlessly."
Scott continues to design and create new work in his Wyoming studio, and enjoys the custom process of working with customers individually to create the perfect heirloom piece.
