Limited edition is the new buzzword in furniture design. The demand for unique furniture is steadily increasing. Prototypes, one offs and limited product lines are celebrating a cult of individuality for furniture in all price categories.
In today's global environment of standardization, the exclusive, and one of a kind objects created with an artistic flair are becoming the most coveted. Our interiors have become more eclectic and people are collecting pieces for there aesthetic appeal as well as functionality. Individual and small shop craftsmen are filling this need by producing quality pieces combining industrial materials with a craftsman's approach in detailed construction. We are even seeing old furniture lines trying to offer customization of their products.
Most of today's furniture producers will never reach the cult status of the Campana Brothers (Sushi II,chair in photo) who's highly sought after work auctions for hundreds of thousands of dollars in the "design Art " world, but for the creators of custom furniture in the main stream, the challenge and excitement of creating pieces that will make your home uniquely yours, is what keeps us all going forward.
