Delivery Information: This furniture piece is available for pick-up from our Southern Vermont showroom or delivery throughout New England, New Jersey, New York City and select areas of eastern New York State. "My work begins with the wiggly and the unhewn. The indigenous Vermont hardwoods I use in my furniture are junk to the lumber industry; burls, dog-legs, unmanageable crotches, gnarled branches and center-rotten trunks not valued by commercial mills as saw logs. Local loggers are the chief sources of supply. We provide loggers with another source of income and they provide us with commercially unavailable raw material. The design process of my furniture begins with the organic life of the tree and has a direct influence on the individual, finished work. Careful design and responsive craftsmanship are crucial to the entire process. The challenge with such raw materials is to make sense of them within the parameters of a practical, functional piece of furniture. My efforts are directed toward sustaining the material’s singular qualities while working with it to create a unique piece of furniture; both the design and making are thus material-based and interdependent." - David Holzapfel Please note: Showroom items are subject to wear and tear and may show signs of use as a display model.
