Robert Lippoth

“Often it is in nature that I find most inspiration. Even a single blade of grass represents a perfect example of a subtle curve and gentle taper. When I design a piece I think of it as sculpture in the format of furniture. My primary goal is to delight the viewer with furniture that is fresh, unique, alive and playful. Furniture that irresistibly pulls the viewer in for a closer look and the desire to touch. The individual love and attention I give to each piece is evident in their aura and spirit. These pieces have heirloom quality.”
