About Dust
DUST FURNITURE:
Abstract traditional furniture made in Valparaiso, Indiana.
In 2001 Vincent began building art furniture. In 2005 Vincent & Jessie Leman founded Dust Furniture. They took their line to a show in Philadelphia a month after they married and have been creating exceptional furniture ever since!
Dust Furniture is a collection of studio furniture from craft artist Vincent Thomas Leman. Vincent has built one-of-a-kind pieces for years, but released this line to accommodate the demand for reproducible versions of his work.
A key part of Vincent's
creation process is the integration of function into the form. He
strives to create furniture that is functional to the degree that it may
be successfully integrated into daily life, yet--equally
important--provides a spark to brighten the routine of daily life. He
finds joy in discovering new ways to mix art and life, and to make it
accessible.
Vincent's work has been described as 'abstract traditional
furniture.' Each piece is essentially a traditional piece of
furniture that is stretched, curved, stacked and stepped to fit his
design intentions. While wood is the material employed to make his
furniture, Vincent considers his actual medium to be 'traditional
furniture.' The classical root of each piece helps maintain its
identity as furniture and keeps the work familiar and approachable
despite the unusual shapes.
All of our furniture is handcrafted in the Dust studio in Valparaiso, Indiana.
