About Us
At Art in Furniture by Schuettinger, we create custom wood furniture and also a focus on multiple art movement expressions in furniture by "painting" with wood using traditional and meticulous hand-craftsmanship.
About Our Work
We practice environmentally conscientious practices when working on projects -- utilizing downed trees and old stock wood that others may not consider using.
Our wood designs include a homage to George Nakashima, abstract expressionism and abstract illusionism. We excel in designing and creating reproductions of period and historic furniture and work closely with a furniture conservationist in using similar methods.
Bruce Schuettinger, lead furniture designer and furniture maker, is also a nationally known furniture and antiques conservator. He holds over 30 years of experience in woodworking and art.
The Art in Furniture woodworking studio is located in Historic New Market, Md., but we work with clients throughout the United States.
