About The Artist
Lorin Seeks • Port Townsend, WA
Furniture • CUSTOM COMMISSIONS
I am guided by a profound belief that furniture should not only captivate the eye but should seamlessly integrate into our lives, enriching our experiences through both its aesthetics and purpose. Inspired by the wild places of the pacific northwest, I shape timeless, balanced designs that honor wood's intrinsic allure. The interplay of textures and the harmony of colors and patterns that woven and textural elements bring to my furniture are an invitation to not just observe, but to engage, touch, and feel the soul of each piece. I strive to create furniture that becomes an integral part of our human experience.

Q&A with the ArtistTell us how your work is made.I design and craft bespoke, modern furniture and housewares using traditional wood joinery techniques, wood turning, and wood carving. While my process includes woodworking machines, what sets my work apart is the use and mastery of traditional hand tools in the making of my pieces. It's the fine details, the hand shaped curves, the subtly exposed hand cut joinery that only hand tools can accomplish and which bring me great joy in the use of - I strive to let that joy and the devotion to the craft come through in everything I made. I am also drawn to the texture and contrast that melding fiber arts into woodcraft can yield, and I enjoy incorporating woven elements into my work - cane, danish cord, rattan, waxed cotton cord, and more. |
