About The Artist

My name is Sam Tresco. I started building furniture as an apprentice 12 years ago. While earning degrees in Design & Physics, I built furniture, designed products and worked as a commercial fisherman. After graduating, I took the leap and started my own custom furniture company.

Right now I am working to develop the future of hyper sustainable furniture. I’m using cutting edge digital fabrication to create the highest quality furniture possible. This furniture is optimized for refinishing, maintenance and repair which allows it to be used for centuries.

An object crafted with painstaking attention to detail has an unmistakable energy and soul. This can only be achieved by valuing the artistry in every subtle detail of fabrication, material, and finish.

Design philosophy

Today, planned obsolescence is the norm. Products often are designed to break and be bought again quickly. This culture of disposability is fundamentally unsustainable.

My furniture is designed to last hundreds of years, long enough for new trees to grow. I use materials and finishes that age gracefully, developing a patina and character with use.
