Q&A
How do your pieces come to life? Tell us one interesting thing about your creative process?
"An organic design approach is in many ways the most exciting.
Needs and goals are discussed with a potential customer, and it always helps to see the environment that a piece will live in.
Then, we try to incorporate ideas that have their origin in nature, conversations, visual triggers seen in passing, media postings, fashion, etc. and “living with” the woods to make the design come to life."

Against the Grain Studio, Inc.Q&A
What funny moments, unexpected surprises, or obstacles have you encountered?
"A few years ago I made some standing desks that had to go up to the seventh floor of a university library. Of course, we made sure that they fit in the elevator. When we got to the seventh floor with the largest one, we couldn’t get it thru the hall door outside the elevator. We had to carry it up the stairs to the seventh floor, and swore, as we have many times before, that “we would never do that again!”."
