Paul Schürch The furniture I create is inspired by my connection to, and observation of nature. I see my furniture as an amalgam of classically influenced styles and contemporary shapes, playful imagery and exotic materials. My challenge is to bring these elements together, and create from them a story that works. This is where my creativity is expressed and where I thrive. I am excited by the prospect of reinterpreting timeless concepts in a fresh and unique manner. I feel I am doing so by taking the art of marquetry beyond its former confines, and by occasionally using stone, gem and shell inlay in my images. My intention is to create pieces of integrity, including beauty and function. From the more than 200 pieces that I have created, here is a small sampling of my work. [Home | Top]
