Overview

"Today's American, hand-crafted furniture is bristling with originality. Blending art and functionality, David Ebner creates unique benches, tables, and chairs. This designer-craftsman's work subtly surpasses the limits of the furniture world and often crosses over into the realm of sculpture. Fine woods with interesting patterns are featured in his practical designs, which reflect natural elements of the places where he has worked in New York State. He fuses traditional and modern techniques and is well known for his scallion coat rack, Renwick benches, and Bellport chairs. See more than 340 colour photos and sketches of Ebner's designs for diverse forms created with ""twisted sticks,"" tubular metal, iron sections, and bamboo laminates. In his lifetime, he's made more than 1,400 pieces. Especially interesting are projects he continues to design today in his ever-evolving style. AUTHOR: Nancy N. Schiffer's long-time interest in decorative arts is continued in this study of artist-made, contemporary forms. She has written more than fifty books about art-related subjects. 340 colour photographs"
