Mario Messina   Designer Craftsman

As a designer craftsman I see furniture making as an opportunity to explore the union of function and art. I want to create furniture that is a joy to live with, will last for many generations and grow in value. I draw my inspiration from nature as well as other craftspeople and artists. I see furniture as an expression of our relationship to the natural world in the context of our  home environment. Ihave been designing and crafting fine furniture and sculpture for 28 years. I like to work in a lot of different mediums such as wood, stone ,glass, metal, and paper. In addition to running a full time furniture studio in Fairfax, Vermont I am also a part time woodworking instructor at Dartmouth College's Hopkins Center and the Vermont Woodworking School in Fairfax VT. I am available to design and build custom furniture and scultpure on  commission.
