Furniture that is fun and attractive as well as functional -- this is the theme of the forthcoming juried exhibition of work by members of Tennessee's Cumberland Furniture Guild. These artisans specialize in studio furniture, which blends artistic concepts with quality materials and traditional construction techniques. Guild members are furniture makers who have studied art, design or woodworking in college or are self-taught and working outside of the traditional technical school-apprenticeship-manufacturing processes. But all of the artisans experiment and explore unique ideas, not ordinarily seen in mass-produced pieces. Because humans interact with furniture each day, it's a short and comfortable leap to seeing it in the role of art, as well. A number of internationally known furniture makers, some of whose work is included in the permanent collections of the Smithsonian's Renwick Gallery, the High Museum in Atlanta, and the Tennessee State Museum, will be included in this exhibition.
