Tor Faegre

I forage for pieces of the natural world and combine these with lumber and steel. I look for interesting shapes created through natural growth: the trees and I collaborate to produce the furniture. I like furniture that is light in weight, so light that it looks like it will float off. The idea for a floating table came when I saw a grove of young cottonwoods springing up in an old field. I have been making furniture since my childhood in the New Hampshire wood. I worked many years as a carpenter in Chicago. I now combine my love of the natural world with the skills I learned in construction. I teach Twig Furniture workshops in the spring and fall in the midwest.
