About Libby Schrum: www.libbyschrum.com

My furniture designs are inspired by the simplicity and function of both the Early American antique furniture I grew up with and the Mid-Century Modern aesthetic I have come to appreciate. Each piece is designed and executed with balance in mind - the balance between function and aesthetics, craft and design, hand work and machine processes. Intrigued by the patterns of day-to-day living, I develop unique and artful design solutions that address functional requests; quiet and sophisticated objects that represent the sensibilities and soul of the designer and equally satisfy the dreams and vision of the client.

Above all, I am a problem solver and furniture is my medium. Whether you know exactly what you want and are looking for a craftsperson to make it a reality or know what you need but want to work through the design process with me, I bring experience, knowledge, and patience for getting the details right. It's the details that make a piece sing.
