Pairing raw timber with crisp planes of metal and glass, John Houshmand Furniture comes from an upstate New York farm where the timber cultivation and manufacturing takes place. Here, the road narrows and the asphalt is replaced by moss. Trees can be centuries old, and where some are cut down, black walnut seedlings are carefully planted in their place. Houshmand’s work trades squared-off planks for gnarls and knots, beaver gnawed branches, deeply grooved bark, and embedded acorns and nails. The work is a creative collision between what we make, and what makes us.
