I view furniture makers as artists and I like it when they treat their craft that way. My father was one - as a hobby - and what he made was always amazing and beautiful. So I like featuring furniture makers that view it as the artful craft that it is.
Studio Roeper is a California-based design firm with a wood-shop located in the former Alameda Naval Station - so right away you know that whatever is made there is going to be special, cool, and interesting (in a good way).
Furniture maker and founder of the company, Florian Roeper, studied sculpture, furniture design, and graphic design before deciding to focus on furniture-making. Roeper handcrafts small production lines of high-end furniture, interior doors, and works of art.
"The pairing of raw, earthy tones with clean contemporary lines, aims to engage the discerning individual who seeks warmth amongst the modern, and subtlety among the exclusive," is how Roeper describes his products.

Apart from his signature etchings onto metal, Roeper specializes in the sourcing and milling of unusual, native California hardwoods. He uses salvaged trees such as Black Acacia, California Walnut, American Red Elm, and Redwood.
Studio Roeper furnishings have been featured in California Home+Design, Woodwork, Interior Design, The Robb Report, DFL-Design for Living, Angeleno, Architectural Digest and Craft.
Even if his style is not yours, you have to appreciate someone that can take rough, raw materials and make them beautiful and functional. What do you think?
